Subject: iwl3945 filling kern.log when HW switch is off
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 11:24:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <526795E1.90701@crlf.de> (raw)
Hello, I hope this is the correct place to put a bug report in. I do
not subscribe to this mailing list, but feel free to send PM in case
you need additional info. You shoudn't :-)
After installing Ubuntu 13.10, I noticed kern.log growing faster
than you could look at. Within a few working hours, kern.log was >6GB!
The reason is that I intentionally disabled WiFi on this laptop by
turning the HW switch off. However, this makes iwl3945 write a log
entry into kern.log every few microseconds!
The workaround is to turn the HW switch on. The bug fix would be to
write just a single line to kern.log.
Regards
Dietmar
