lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

[Knute Johnson]

I'm getting a recurring kernel error about every 30 seconds to a minute. 
  This is from logwatch but the kernel and messages logs are similar.

1 Time(s): [ 9503.788362] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
  1 Time(s): [ 9503.942683] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
  1 Time(s): [ 9803.349930] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
  1 Time(s): [ 9803.505668] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
  1998 Time(s): lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

My /etc/network/interfaces file;

knute at rabbitbrush:/etc/network$ cat interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Everything seems to be working correctly except for the error messages. 
  I googled around and there seems to be lots of causes for this type of 
error, the most common having something to do with wireless.  I don't 
have any wireless installed on this computer.  The computer was upgraded 
from 9.04 to 9.10 server a few days ago and that is when the messages 
started.

Any ideas where to start to fix it?

Thanks,
