Unless SL is crashing on you, don't worry about it.
it just means you should probably run Windows Update (in Internet Explorer, pull down Tools and select Windows Update).
If that doesn't turn up a new chipset drivers, just ignore that dialog.

It means that SL is looking for an Intel chipset driver version that isn't actually the latest driver version for you chipset.
Ignore it, I do.

I agree, ignore it. I went to the Intel and ATI sites and was not able to find newer chip set drivers than what I already had installed and still received the warning message.

I've been having this exact same problem and unfortunately I don't think I can just ignore it. I've been getting constant packet loss in SL lately and this is the only thing that seems to be a possible cause. Here's the full story...
Just recently I've had to rebuild my PC because it decided it would start to freeze and not boot at seemingly random intervals. I suspect this was remanents of problems caused by a bad lightning strike I had in my area earlier in the year (which also fried some other hardware immediately at the time). So anyway, I got everything tested and determined that both the mainboard and CPU were dodgy. So I got myself a nice new mainboard and CPU which also meant an upgrade (from 2.6Ghz to 3.2Ghz, among other speed increases I gained from the updated mainboard). So now I've completely rebuilt my PC, fresh install of Windows, and all the latest drivers. Now when I go into SL, about 90% of the time the packet loss will be fluctuating around 10%. It's making SL so slow, and objects are taking to long to load that, I've pretty much got to the point where I can't be bothered going in there. The first thing I thought is that it was a network driver conflict because of the Intel Chipset error I was getting. So I updated that driver (SL still gives the error message as others in this thread have stated) but that appeared to make no difference.
One thing that has changed in my new configuration is that my new mainboard has the network on-board so my next step was to disable that, and re-install the network card that I used with my old mainboard. Still the packet loss continues. No-one else is seeing this packet loss so I know it's a local issue and it seems to have nothing to do with how busy SL is. Every forum thread I've read about packet loss seems to indicate a slow PC but there is no way that my PC should be struggling with this stuff.
Does anyone have any ideas at all that I can try to solve this problem? I'm really running out of ideas here. Anyone.... please, please help. The SL withdrawl will start to set in any day now.
...oh, and just for good measure, here's a few specs on my PC...
ASUS mainboard
Intel P4 3.2Ghz (1mb cache)
1Gb RAM
Ge-Force FX-5200 (128mb)
...and I'm on a 512/uncapped cable connection which I have all to myself.
