Hi,
# yum info rt2870

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1056424&page=3
browser Edit-Find     Find: DeQueueRunning 

The rt2870.h file has a printk statement, that is a print kernel message.
>From the context you can see it is a diagnostic message, probably a help for
a programmer to trace the program logic execution, but annoying to the user.

...
/* ----------------- TX Related MACRO ----------------- */
#define RT28XX_START_DEQUEUE(pAd, QueIdx, irqFlags)	
...
		printk("DeQueueRunning[%d]= TRUE!\n", QueIdx);		\
...

If you downloaded the driver source code, you could remove it, compile the driver
yourself without impacting program execution.
So, no problem.
