Super, Thanks! So interpreting that finding, it would appear that: - that message relates to setting the wireless card to a power saving mode - it is being done far too often (> 1/sec), it is being done wrong (so it fails), or it is failing because a new request happens before it succeeds, or ... - one fix is a command to turn off power saving with 'iwconfig wlan0 power off' but it is not stated whether that needs to be re-done with each boot or is a permanent change - another fix is to install the unspecified "most recent" kernel where it has already been "fixed"
