[Bug 267063] Re: iwl4965 - wireless event too big (366) and 2.6.27-2 regression

This Linux system has also the "event too big message"

(3) driver rtl8187 (automatically included in the upgrade Intrepid and loaded automatically)

What I understand from the whole thread that it is possible to make the
message go away under particular conditions, but nobody explains what
the message really means. In which case would the kernel say "event too
big"? Does any developer know that? Is there  a way that we can see the
"too big" message? For example, with a test kernel.
