on one machine I am seeing frequent (&gt;1/sec) messages in syslog, messages and maybe other logs too.  The device referred to is a Linksys PCI wireless card and a typical message is:<br><br>&lt;timestamp&gt; kernel: [nnnn.nnnnnn] phy0 -&gt; rt2500 pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 1 (-16).<br>
<br>The device seems to still be mostly working (just did system updates wirelessly and am streaming music ATM).  I can&#39;t find any info on that interface.  I have two questions:<br><br>1) What is the state 1 it is being told to enter since it does not seem to be necessary?<br>
2) How does one interpret the [nnnn.nnnnnn] found in so many logs?  I always assumed it was seconds and microseconds since some event, but ...<br><br>I will probably replace this card since I have a spare so don&#39;t anyone spend a lot of time on this.<br clear="all">
