I really think this is the right thing to do and I hope the wireless
folks integrate this.

I am well aware that you guys intend for some of these messages to be
indications and notifications the user is intended to SEE, but in the
cases where that is true KERN_DEBUG is absolutely not appropriate.

You should be using KERN_INFO or KERN_WARN in those situations
instead.

Thanks.
