Messages like these are in the category "business as usual", which
happens frequently when the device is moved. IMHO they are not really
warnings. I'm worried that making the messages more visible might
scare the users too much.

To me it seems more useful than the network up/down messages that
are already printed from the networking core.

You are not a normal user :) But what networking core messages are you
referring to? I don't recall seeing anything like that.

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): sta6: link becomes ready
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): sta5: link becomes ready
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): sta4: link becomes ready

Possibly I previously hacked on the console logging levels and forgot
about it...


That said, I don't feel strongly about this change, and it's certainly
an easy patch for me to carry in my own tree.

I also don't have any strong opinion about this, just voiced my
concern.

No problem.  One final note:  These will only show if someone has
compiled in wireless debugging...

We can let the maintainer make the call :)

Thanks,
Ben
