Dear Debianistas,

I get the following messages continuously, via dmesg:

[10438.440147] wlan0: switched to long barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)
[10453.293891] wlan0: switched to short barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)
[10741.016287] wlan0: switched to long barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)
[10755.142445] wlan0: switched to short barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)
[11337.978637] wlan0: switched to long barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)
[11353.674135] wlan0: switched to short barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)
[11576.083088] wlan0: switched to long barker preamble
(BSSID=00:0c:41:fb:d5:50)

This happened with D-Link, Netgear and Linksys access points, so I
don't even know where to start. It very much interferes with network
speed due to what looks like constant renegotiation. And yes, it gets
worse with heavier traffic.

Suggestions?

You should include more information:
- wireless hardware information
- applicable lspci output
- module in use
- debian version
- kernel version

Here an upgrade to 2.6.29 or later is suggested:
http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/30573/

If you are running lenny, you could try 2.6.30 from backports.
