For Flying Spaghetti Monster's sake.... This bug still happens on Trusty. How hard is it to fix the issue so that my /var/log/syslog doesn't grow to multiple GBs in a single day and still remains useful?!
Stop bickering and put a simple fix in, i.e. only reporting the error once, not every two seconds! The driver is still spamming the log every couple of seconds. root@hakan-work:~# lspci|grep -i broad 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n root@hakan-work:~# tail -n
