Comment 26 for bug 436341

There may be a relationship to the Openchrome display driver or other component of the X system:

If I open up the gnome-terminal and run `tail -f /var/log/kern.log` I see the 2 messages per second as described in comment #25 above. Also the size of kern.log is constantly increasing.

However, if I switch to a text console (eg tty1) and execute the same command, kern.log does not change - that is, the messages stop.

It's not clear that the display driver or other X software are causing the pcmcia socket from working, or are just causing the messages.
