After this change I've started getting following messages:

flymockour-l7% grep rekeying /var/log/messages | less

so, every 10 mins I am getting these messages.

I am not sure if this (rekeying) is something wpa2 is enforcing. Is
anyone else getting such messages?

Does it make sense to move this message from MSG_INFO to MSG_DEBUG?

cheers,
Hiren
