wlan garbage in console

When I switch to pure console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and log in, I see a repeated "garbage" messages:

[c]cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: GB[/c]
I see these messages very frequently, maybe once a minute or so. Its very annoying. Messages are writed just in cursor position, over other display stuff.

When I use Midnight Commander, I can press Ctrl+O twice to redraw screen. But when I'm in lynx or nano, I can't find workaround.

What I want? Not to see these messages in console. Please, help!

Additional info.

dmesg:

At the same time (I think) when these annoying messages are writed, I can see blinked Network Monitor Applet in LXPanel (beginning with red cross (disconnected?), then two blinks (handshake?), then waiting).

I live in Ukraine (country code UA). I use wireless router RT-N10 together with my neighbor, he is owner and admin of it.

Hardinfo says about my wireless thing:

Re: wlan garbage in console

This is used to stop kernel messages from bleeding thru boot messages on /etc/init.d/rcS

# Be quiet

echo "0 0 0 0" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

Re: wlan garbage in console

Thanks, mojo!

Now I can't use that Wi-Fi spot for a days. Now I use an Android phone (with GPRS/EDGE connection) as Wi-Fi spot. And its works great (but slow, hehe). Here are latest lines of [c]dmesg[/c], you can see as I disconnected regular spot and connected to Android's:

No loops. Maybe, my neighbour, owner of Wi-Fi router, is not a good admin

Or, maybe router incoming cable fixed not well. As he say, here is Modem on the next building, then air cable, then his router. And because of renovation of the nearby building's roof, here is permanent problems with air cable for a days (or weeks), so long.
