Description of problem: I'm using the bcm43xx wireless driver at a conference I'm attending. One of the many issues I'm having is a lot of debug messages in /var/log/messages, along these lines: Jul 10 16:32:27 spx kernel: ieee80211: eth1: IEEE80211_REASSOC_REQ received Jul 10 16:32:27 spx kernel: SoftMAC: reassoc request from unknown network Jul 10 16:32:56 spx kernel: ieee80211: eth1: IEEE80211_ASSOC_REQ received This may have something to do with the quality of the network, but these don't seem like critical messages that need to be logged. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load module & connect to network 2. 3. Actual results: lots of syslog debug messages Expected results: no syslog debug messages Additional info:
The messages result from the config options CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG and CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG. Given the relative lack of maturity in those components, I'd prefer not to turn those off at the moment. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm sure we will turn them off eventually, I'm just not sure when (probably not in FC5).
