messages in syslog.log

[Dave Chamberlin]

On monitoring the system log file (syslog.log) I am seeing messges like:
lanc_ether_ics 14
I have never seen this message in there before. The number at the end is different on each message of this type. Can someone tell me what this means? Does something need attention? Thanks.
