The first and the last one just indicate that my iptables here is too
old to know about --checksum-fill, but what about the second one?
Ah - that one is harmless too, but is a bonafide bug - when starting the
network we only add the rule to allow port 69 if the network def has a
non-empty tftproot, but when destroying the network we try to remove it
no matter what.
I'm following this message with a patch to remedy the problem.
