Yes. It is.

: These messages will go on forever.
Although them happening every few seconds does seem a little
excessive. I'd expect the auth messages to be happening on the order
of once a minute.
: I have the following options in my kernel config file
:
: options WLCACHE # enables the signal-strength cache
: options WLDEBUG # enables verbose debugging output
:
: Is it the WlDEBUG that is causing the messages? Should I turn this option
: off to get more meaningful debug messages?
These are for a different driver and will have no effect.
: Also, the problem I raised with the wi interface debug mode and channel
: changes
: is still happening after a cvsup, kernel rebuild and reboot.
Likely something subtle here. I don't change channels when I'm
debugging. Debug mode is designed only to track down problems with
the mgmt messages, not as a general purpose tool that's bullet proof
:-)
