ThinkPad 11abgn driver ver.7.4.2.105 - excess event entries
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 4:58 pm
On 10/17/08, I updated my wireless ThinkPad 11abgn driver from version 6.0.3.94 to 7.4.2.105. The update was a nice improvement as I now connect faster than with the older driver. However, although no impact to my T60 performance, ever since the new driver was installed, the following has occurred:
1. A new entry in the Event Viewer called ACS
2. Multiple "ccxroaming" entries are generated every time my laptop comes out of standby (anywhere from 4 to 7 entries each time!)
3. Since 10/17/08, I have generated 951 ACS events!!
For example, this morning, after coming out of standby (AC mode), the following entries were generated from oldest to newest:

I can understand Lenovo possibly wanting to generate this information when testing a new driver in-house, but does this really need to be passed on the end user?
