You can ignore it; it an advisory message only.  The chipset used for 
sis0 needs some different parameters if you use a short cable - I 
believe these come from the manufacturer.  In fact, with an sis0 chipset 
I always get this message even when using a cable which I believe is not 
"short", but everything works just fine.

I'm sure that google would tell you more.

Unless you have actual ethernet errors (e.g. as shown by "netstat -i -I 
sis0") then ignore it.
