I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty (netbook remix) on an ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook. Every few minutes, I get several hundred messages like these in dmesg and syslog:
[ 2137.678267] pMgmt->DMADONE = 0
[ 2137.678273] Desc #127
[ 2137.678278] pMgmt->DMADONE = 0
[ 2137.678285] ---------------------------------------------------
[ 2137.678293] Desc #0
[ 2137.678299] pRxD->DDONE = 0
[ 2137.678338] Desc #1
[ 2137.678346] pRxD->DDONE = 0
I don't really know what's going on, but a couple of google searches make me suspect this is coming from the RaLink rt2860 driver.

Disregard the addition of Arch Linux, as the problem is not the same.
The Arch problem is the addition of the following lines to dmesg, also somehow due to ralink drivers:
