Turn off CONFIG_MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG in the kernel config
(or ask SuSE to do the same). You can't turn it off at
runtime, but you could turn off kernel debug messages in
syslogd.
However, this is only supposed to happen every 30s if I
read the code right. Maybe someone on linux-wireless
knows how this can happen?
