This seems odd - after poking around the web, I found this link: http://<email address hidden>/msg29450.html
It's a patch that only logs these errors when CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG is enabled.
I checked the kernel source (in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/net/mac80211/wpa.c) and verified that the patch is indeed applied to the source - the ifdef statements are there. However, when I look in /boot/config-2.6.24-8-generic to check the kernel config, I see "# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG is not set". The only place the string "TKIP decrypt failed" occurs in the kernel tree is within that ifdef in wpa.c, but according to the kernel config, the variable is not set, so the logging shouldn't occur. Unless I'm missing something with the way ubuntu kernel builds work? Maybe there's a patch that removes the ifdefs?

I could be way off base - just trying to help..
