Public bug reported: I'm using the iwlagn module from linux-backports- modules-2.6.27-7-generic. Twice now, I've found that while unattended, my system has filled its rootfs by flooding /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log, and /var/log/syslog with messages from the kernel. The logs themselves are hard to decipher, because the information written to the log file was written at a slower rate than the rate that the kernel was spewing information at, but one can see iwlagn mentioned in the call stack. I've attached part of the kern.log from the second occurrence, to illustrate this.
