[opensuse-factory] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2462MHz): What is it?
I'm occasionally getting this in /var/log/messages. It doesn't seem to do harm, just wondering what it is. I'm connected over UMTS modem while this happens. -- Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

(2462MHz) is the rf frequency of a wifi device. UMTS works in 2100 MHz Power off the wifi devices, and see what it happens. But this wifi device can be from Your neighbor.

I don't have wifi devices here myself except the machine's own wlan interface, not active. Maybe a neighbour, I know there are some around. I've sometimes used them for testing, some are wide open... But I've got a new one that I have never seen before either: "unsupported jumbo" That's another wifi thing, suppose? The landing path to Helsinki-Vantaa airport from the West goes nearby so there's airline traffic, but I quess it's not that :) -- Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Do not worry with this message. It is normal. It was removed recently from kernel wireless-testing tree and will be available soon on Linus' tree. -- Tulio Magno
