Not quite sure who you are asking, but as the OP I didn't have any USB device attached to the laptop. Actually, the messages seem to have stopped, without my taking any steps. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Dumb question - if this is a USB dongle, what happens if you plug it into another port? It may be that the dongle is drawing too much power for the port it is plugged into, and the port is resetting itself. Especially if you are using a bus-powered hub.

I see that CRDA = Central Regulatory Domain Agent and that it has something to do with udev , which I noticed was updated when I ran "yum update" an hour or so ago. The link above seems to suggest ways one might turn this off, eg by an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/ , but it doesn't give an explicit script. I said the stream was "endless", but that doesn't appear to be the case. It seems to be running now every couple of minutes for 20 seconds or so. The laptop on which this appears is a very standard Thinkpad T60, running Fedora-16/KDE up-to-date. I guess I'll try downgrading udev if the problem persists, or else go back to the last kernel (though the kernel was not updated today). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

That happens to me when I plug in a USB wireless dongle. Don't know why it would be an endless stream though. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
