Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.22-2 Severity: normal i am at a location where a nearby wireless router comes in and out of range, so i get a ton of "eth2: New link status: AP Out of Range (0004)" and "eth2: New link status: AP In Range (0005)" messages on the active terminal. this makes it difficult to work (especially in vi).
i found a solution using "cat 6 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk" to suppress KERN_INFO and KERN_DEBUG level printk messages. i'm sure there are many other users out there that are annoyed by the current behavior. would it be feasible to have level 6 as the default printk level in debian rather than 7? another possible solution would be for orinoco.c (which contains the code that prints these messages) to use the KERN_DEBUG printk level instead of KERN_INFO. let me know if any of this seems reasonable. thank you for all the hard work. mike -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (400, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
