The problem is that one of them is clogging up my syslog at the tune of once a second or so ("SoftMAC: Getting essid from req_essid"), and rolling everything else out of my dmesg. I just rebooted into 2.6.23-rc3+some, and after 36 minutes of uptime I already have: $ dmesg | cut -d ']' -f2- | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -3 1047 SoftMAC: Getting essid from req_essid 38 SoftMAC: Getting essid from associate_essid 22 SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 13 channels starting with channel 1 Is the message important for debugging, or can I make a patch to yank the silly thing?
