I was getting that error on my iMac, but I could have sworn it was
during the dhclient part and not when I was bringing up eth0. In my
case things still worked fine. The card came up and got an IP address.
I just assumed the error was not actually related to my network card.
Surely someone here knows what the device "sit0" is.

Sorry I couldn't offer a solution. I'll poke around on my iMac and see
if that error is still popping up.
