This bug, as originally described by Dima concerns the rt2500pci wlan
spamming dmesg. Probably due to the kernel requesting the wlan for a mode
the wlan cant recognize.

It was recognized as a kernel problem as early as Sept 2009 and taken
aboard by the kernel group at that time. Google 'rt2500pci spamming syslogd'.

The problem, and the workaround still persist, for me, for 2.26.32.

Others report the problem 'solved' in 2.26.34.999.

Log spamming by alsa is a different problem, which can probably be solved by
using alsamixer -c 0 to cut down on alsa pcm and output levels.
