Thank you Anne for describing what looks like one way to fix this for all connections, rather than the easy fix in #24 which only addresses one SSID.
But I worry that making wpa_supplicant more quiet will hide messages that are important - what else would be suppressed? So I suspect that the bug should be fixed somewhere else, since it seems clear to me that default installs with popular wifi cards should not spam syslog, and this does seem to be related to only some forms of Intel wifi cards - mostly Centrino I guess. So what is printing this out, which developer explained the workaround (sometime after 2009?), and how do we clean up our syslogs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323089 Title: wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1323089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
