Ever see this in syslog? </davem@redhat.com></greearb@candelatech.com></quaker@barba

I was just looking at syslog after downgrading from .43 to .42 on my N66U. Saw this message at end of log.

Have never noticed this message before. Any ideas as to what it is?

If you want to know I down graded because when watching Hulu I strart getting lots of buffering which is bothersome. Found that if I reboot the router things are fine for awhile. Not sure what was going on as late at night. When I ran speed test from my laptop connected to the 2.4 wireless the speed had dropped to under 1 Mb/s. Normal speed is over 7. Rebooting the router gets the speed back up. Yes I had cleared nvram when I upgraded to .43

Context is everything. If you read the line just before these, it will tell you what it's related to. Essentially, they are author messages put by the Linux kernel when a component they wrote has been loaded/initialized.

Thanks, Merlin!
Wondered it that was the case. Never noticed before. Here are the two lines before this one. xx out last 2 octets of IP address

Jul 9 16:26:00 dnsmasq-dhcp[468]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.x.xx 24:e3:14:ad:91:d4
Jul 9 16:26:00 dnsmasq-dhcp[468]: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.x.xx 24:e3:14:ad:91:d4 marys-iPhone
</davem@redhat.com></greearb@candelatech.com></quaker@barbara.eu.org>

So looks to be related to the DHCP support.

Not really, because you wouldn't normally see all those strings together on one line:

Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: ipt_account 0.1.21 : Piotr Gasidlo <quaker@barbara.eu.org>, http://code.google.com/p/ipt-account/
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 1
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 10
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: ip6_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 17
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: 802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8 Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: All bugs added by David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com>
Jan 1 00:00:07 kernel: VFS: Mounted root (squashfs filesystem) readonly.

Perhaps the NVRAM is corrupted. Do you have a reservation for marys-iPhone? If so, what does this give you:

nvram get dhcp_staticlist

PS There's really no point hiding parts of your local IP addresses.
