Hi Louis,It looks like that driver is using printf to print those messages out: http://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/dev/pci/twa.c#2811
You could hack the defines for a quick/dirty fix, but it seems this driver should be updated in line with this project:
http://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/aprint/I don't have that hardware so I can't test but, I'd be willing to replace the printf's with aprint's or log's for that driver and send you a kernel if you'd be willing to test it out. If it works out for you maybe we can send a PR with the patch.

Is there a sysctl or some such thing to make a particular driver less "chatty"? I have a twa card with a battery that needs replacing and it won't shut up about it. I'd like to turn off the messages for this driver until I can do maintenance and get the replacement in place. These are the messages I'm getting... # dmesg | awk /Battery/ | sort -u AEN 0x0055: INFO: Battery charging started: twa1: AEN 0x0055: INFO: Battery charging started: twa1: AEN 0x0056: INFO: Battery charging completed: twa1: AEN 0x0057: ERROR: Battery charging fault: ... It'd be nice to quiet the "INFO" ones. Louis
