Hi Matthew

I have EXACTLY the same problem with my laptop (which is also a Dell 
Inspiron 8200 with the TrueMobile 1150 wireless card)... and I finally 
gave up. I simply was not able to fix these annoying messages, but in 
Konsole or Gnome Terminal these lines don't appear, so I think I will 
have to live with this :-(

I hope there are more skilled people around here ;-)
