Hi,

since PR1.2 I've noticed my dmesg on my N900 is flooded with this
message every few seconds (but not exact intervals) when I'm connected
to my home wi-fi:

[31600.605926] wlan0: roaming signal from driver, sending HIGHSIGNAL
[31601.731414] wlan0: roaming signal from driver, sending LOWSIGNAL
[31607.875396] wlan0: roaming signal from driver, sending HIGHSIGNAL
[31616.579620] wlan0: roaming signal from driver, sending LOWSIGNAL
[31624.567291] wlan0: roaming signal from driver, sending HIGHSIGNAL
[31633.783843] wlan0: roaming signal from driver, sending LOWSIGNAL


I also got this exactly every 900 seconds while I slept last night:
[21999.580230] wlan0: deauthenticated
[22000.235076] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:16:01:b8:49:c1
[22000.239044] wlan0: authenticated
[22000.239074] wlan0: associate with AP 00:16:01:b8:49:c1
[22000.244384] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:16:01:b8:49:c1 (capab=0x411
status=0 aid=2)
[22000.244445] wlan0: associated

My internet settings are:

Connect automatically: Any connection
Search interval: 10 minutes
Switch to wi-fi when available: yes

Wi-Fi transmission power: 100mW
WPA2-only mode: yes
Power Saving: On (Maximum)

Are these messages normal? I'm concerned that battery life could be
affected if it's doing some kind of constant wifi activity...

Thanks,
Paul
