and so on..................


on a similar note, my laptop has the intel 2200bg wireless lan card (mini PCI) card..and its not set up properly yet...and when i dmesg there i get some thing to do with MAC addresses ....but that slows down the laptop to a crawl..(those messages are not as verbose as this)
any suggestions on how to cure either one or both problems?

thanks in advance

are u running a firewall

for example shorewall

It seems that you are running a firewall which is logging everthing happening along your network iface.
Are you running GuardDog? because if you are, you can switch off logging when configuring it .

yes i am ..firestarter....i tried looking inthe preferences but cannot find the option to disable logging...

u will have to look out in the config files
where u may find the the log going in "info"
and this will be logged in the /var/log/messages
