Resend(oops, never setup plain text vs html on this machine)
I've been getting spammed with:
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: iwlagn_tx_agg_start on ra = 00:0c:42:64:bb:1d
tid = 0
Every 35s for the 16 hours my machine has been up:
anvil $ uname -a
Linux anvil 2.6.39-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 20 01:53:54 EDT
2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 820 @ 1.73GHz GenuineIntel
GNU/Linux
anvil $ dmesg | grep iwlagn_tx_agg_start | wc -l
1621
anvil $ uptime
16:44:40 up 14:49, 3 users, load average: 1.11, 0.82, 0.48
Is there a good reason to print this message? Is it indicative of a
problem? Everything works fine.
Here's a little dmesg info from my system:

Just want to be clear, which message flooding your system?
is
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid
> 0 because load = 9
or
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: iwlagn_tx_agg_start on ra = 00:0c:42:64:bb:1d
> tid = 0

the second message should only show once when the aggregation being establish. if you are seeing it every 35 seconds, that is bad.
but the first message is checking the traffic load is high enough to establish the aggregation queue, which is ok.
and we should not log this type of message as "ERROR", I will submit a patch to change that.

This message is the one that I've gotten over 1600 of in 16 hours.

Feel free to include me in on the CC for that patch. Will test.

It is not the normal behavior you are seeing over 1600 aggregation
attempt in 16 hours.
Could you please help me to debug this with following debug flag
$sudo modprobe iwlagn debug=0x4100002
Thanks
