unwanted repeated messages on Lenny laptop
Hi,
I did a net-install of Lenny on an Acer laptop.
All went well, took 2hr 23min to install, not bad, found the Telmex
Infinitum network with DHCP.
I took the defaults so now I am running Gnome.
The connection is thru a 2Wire wireless gateway that I have connected to
eth0, which you get when you subscribe to Telmex Infinitum, together
with the warning that they don't support Linux.
However...
Every minute these mesages appears on the active VT (and in syslog),
which screws up the fullscreen app like mc that you might be running there:
Jul 24 11:26:25 debian NetworkManager: <WARN>

download the latest firmware (version 4).
How can I turn off those messages? Aside from messing with the firmware
on the laptop, which I am loathe to do because various people still use
it to access the unmentionable o/s.
