kernel way too verbose about eth0

Since yesterday, I noticed that about every several seconds or so this shows up in the dmesg output and /var/log/kern.log:
Code:
<snip>

And so on for hundreds of entries. I have a wireless connection on ath0, and I've pretty much never used an ethernet connection with this computer. I guess it's not really hurting anything, but I'm worried about log filesize and the resource overhead of logging this so often.

What's causing it, and can I at least get it to shut up?
