Thank you Ali, I apologize, this is my first time reporting a bug through a mailing list. Both lines repeat almost every second until I either run ifconfig wlan0 down or remove the module completely. I have since downgraded to 2.6.39 and am using the wl module and don't seem to have any problems. I still have the 3.0 Kernel available if anyone would like me to test further.
