Lot of errors in dmesg with rt2500-pci (10.04)

Binary package hint: rt2500

Hi,
It was already the case with the bêtas releases of Lucid Lynx, but I see a lot of errors in dmesg, from the rt2500-pci module.
For example, my computer is open for 10 min and in attachement, you'll see the dmesg.

I'm not sure, but my computer can freeze some times, it's even impossible to make ctrl+F1, and I think there is a link with this error.

uname -r : 2.6.32-22-generic
lspci | grep Network : 04:01.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01)

I also have an rt2500 that complains too much with the 2.6.32 kernel.

You can turn off the dmesg spam from rt2500 by adding the following line to /etc/rc.local:
'iwconfig wlan0 power off' without the quotes, of course.
This disables 2.6.32 kernel's futile, possibly un-intended (my guesses), attempts to control rt2500 power management.

I don't understand why the 'freeze some time' happens for you. You should probably try to find out more specifically what's causing the freezes. For example, see if the sheer volume of stuff in /var/log has anything to do with the freeze. dmesg and kern.log are keeping every last one of these little complaints.

In my case, I am unaware of any performance problem if this is just ignored.
Similarly, I am unaware of any problem from turning off the spam. So I do.

thank for your reply.
I appears that my freeze problem was caused by a bad usb connection of my card reader.
