Comment 37 for bug 356807

I don't know what exactly causes this, but networking has been acting strange lately, and I notice that with the rt2860sta module loaded, system load averages remain above 1, often creeping up to 3 where they always used to be below 1. Also, I get the ioctl_giwscan message a LOT more frequently: once every second. I'm on Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-22-generic. It does not seem to matter if I use stock module, or recompile the rt2860sta. The messages, of course, disappear when disabling debugging output to logs, but the load problem (which I suspect is due to the network issues) remains.
