Subject: ieee80211 messages at startup (3.0 kernel)

Hi,
I've been seeing weird messages concerning ieee80211 driver at startup
after using 3.0.0 kernel.
I don't know whether that is a problem or just debugging messages,
since everything is working fine,
but I've attached the dmesg output (before and after using the 3.0.0)
and my config file.

this issue has been fixed in the staging-next repo, the fix is probably
still on its way to the wireless repo. FYI, the commit on staging-next is:

-----------------
commit 37c962d195005d009e130e65a9e55960996c3cab
Author: Roland Vossen <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Jun 29 16:48:22 2011 -0700

staging: brcm80211: fix for reported log spam problem

Every few minutes, this message would appear in syslog:

ieee80211 ph0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: BSS idle: true (implement)

The message has been deleted, the driver requires no special action
on this
particular event (). See:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38162

Bye, Roland.
