#6506: [wifi] "discard WME information element" "too short, len 7" syslog spam

-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I have a repeating syslog message that spams my log with 10 lines per
 second of messages about "discard WME information element too short, len
 7", although it's stuffed full of KERN messages and timestamps etc... so
 it's even worse.

 Although this is gcc4hybrid r38293, this has been happening for several
 months now at least.

 I'd really like to get this fixed somehow so that my syslog isn't rapidly
 growing all the time and really inconvenient to browse through and post
 for bugs etc.

 The only other example of this message I find on Google is from a few
 comments from 7 months ago on a thread on the FreeBSD forum:
 http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8041&page=9

 Where it appears to be better formatted and possibly more informative, and
 appears at the same rate. It seems to be a debug only message? In the
 FreeBSD logs, each message line is preceded by a message line about a
 beacon:
 {{{
 Jan 25 15:57:00 kernel: wlan0: received beacon from 00:21:91:02:e9:13 rssi
 72
 Jan 25 15:57:00 kernel: wlan0: [00:21:91:02:e9:13] discard WME information
 element, too short, len 7
 }}}

 Here's an example from the Haiku syslog with timestamps off:

 And the Haiku syslog with timestamps enabled:
