Hi, I've been testing out the 2.6.25-rc kernel, and I've run into a possible regression. When I connect to my University's wireless network, I get the following in my system logs (This is just in one min. and it continues until I turn the computer off): Mar 18 11:00:02 dell kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:02 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:06 dell kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:06 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:12 dell kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:12 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:17 dell kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:17 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:20 dell kernel: printk: 4 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:20 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:26 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:32 dell kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:32 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:36 dell kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:36 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:42 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:46 dell kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:46 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:51 dell kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:51 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:00:56 dell kernel: printk: 5 messages suppressed. Mar 18 11:00:56 dell kernel: wlan0_rename: RX too short data frame payload Mar 18 11:01:02 dell kernel: printk: 5 messages suppressed. This didn't happen when I was using the 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 kernels. Also it only _(or almost only)_ happens on the Uni. network. At home (where the problem doesn't happen) my wireless router is a Hawking HWR54G. I have no idea what the Uni. router is. On both, I connect to an unencrypted network, but at the Uni. it redirects to a login page where I have to log on before I can actually use the Internet. Also, even though I get this flood of kernel messages, I can still use the Internet. My network card is a Intel 3945ABG. I was told by another developer (related to another regression I've found) that the problem could be something about "pipe programming timing".
