Public bug reported:
The iwl3945 driver has started to spew hundreds of megabytes of kernel
messages into my syslog, kern.log, and debug log files. It seems this
started with the 2.6.24-7-generic kernel (I'll try with an earlier
kernel to see if it occurs there too).
While my laptop is connected to the AP via wifi, the messages appear like this:
...

While the laptop is not associated, different messages appear:

This spew continues until my root partition is full.
