Bug Description
linux (2.6.28-6.17) jaunty
The kernel spams my logs with hundreds of messages like:
Feb 5 07:04:30 yoshi kernel: [ 257.465945] ForceXPAon: 0
Feb 5 07:04:30 yoshi kernel: [ 257.645954] ForceXPAon: 0
Feb 5 07:04:31 yoshi kernel: [ 257.885991] ForceXPAon: 0
Feb 5 07:04:31 yoshi kernel: [ 257.950017] ForceXPAon: 0
Feb 5 07:04:31 yoshi kernel: [ 258.013982] ForceXPAon: 0
Feb 5 07:04:31 yoshi kernel: [ 258.077992] ForceXPAon: 0
My device is
06:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
as found in the Dell XPS m1340.
It looks like there was a patch to 2.6.27 to get rid of these: <http://

Thanks John,
Indeed it doesn't look like this patch has been applied to Jaunty. I'm adding a note for the kernel team that this is going into Intrepid via the 2.6.27.13 stable patch set, see bug 321474.

ath9k: quiet harmless ForceXPAon messages
This is a port of one line of upstream patch 3d2d5bb5a756de6 b1633a76c9e697
f1dc56003b2
The "ForceXPAon" messages on ath9k were not meant to be printed
regularly, lets quiet them as this can happen quite frequently
(scans) and will fill the logs with tons of these messages.
