The "Memory:c8000000-c8011100" line isn't an error, just what memory segment is in use. Checksum errors point to problems but Linux' network stack deals well with those. Could you narrow errors down to a or any set of remote addresses?

Dunno. Post card specs, output, kernel modules in use and maybe a pattern might emerge...
