    [PATCH] kill massive wireless-related log spam · 35848e04
    Jeff Garzik authored
    Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
    driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
    patch in its present form.  Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy
    users.
    
    Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()
    every single time they ask for stats.  That's a little bit _too_ much of a
    reminder that the driver is using an old API.
    
    Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.
