I'm also getting this in my logs and it's not just cosmetic, there seems to be some connectivity loss every time it happens as I get glitches and drop-outs in streaming applications, say Airfoil Speakers specifically. Seems the Ralink code is doing a periodic scan which I'm not sure is a normal behavior.
