Public bug reported:

My kernel log is being filled by this:

WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/net/mac80211/rx.c:2910 
ieee80211_rx+0x9b/0x1b0 [mac80211]()
[... stack trace, etc ]

at a very very fast rate. Since the stack trace shows it is in
ieee80211_rx and the rate is so high, I'm guessing this is happening
with every interrupt for the device.

Any ideas as to the cause/fix for this? It makes it difficult to gather
meaningful data from the kernel log when it's being filled by those
messages. And any amount of traffic causes /var/log/kern.log to grow at
a rather fast rate.

This is mostly an annoying issue, as there seem to be no other real
symptoms.  Speedtest.net tests show it's achieving the same bandwidth
I'd get if I was connected via ethernet (although kern.log grew from
7.2MB to 7.6MB just by running a single test on there).
