These messages are printed by the mac80211 stack when it receives little
more than a 802.11 header ...
A 1-min Wireshark network dump (my address was 10.68.1.211):
http://jdserver.homelinux.org/linux/wireshark-1min
This capture does not show the 802.11 headers ... the frames start with
their 802.3 (Ethernet) headers. Did you take this capture on the host
self? If so, the capture will only show frames received by this host,
but unfortunately the frames that cause the message to be displayed have
already been dropped at this point. Is it possible to get a capture of
everything that goes over the air? You will need a second wireless
device that is in monitor mode in order to see this traffic.
Thanks!

Yeah, I should have known that. I did take the capture from the kernel
that didn't work. I'll try another capture on a kernel that doesn't give
that message. And I'll set it to capture all packets over the air. It'll
have to be on Monday or Tuesday when I'm at the Uni.
