I did dmesg after unplugging my usb stick and saw this:

[15542.015894] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 4
[17244.669954] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
[18201.742458] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
[22184.501297] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
[27983.141754] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

I googled it and found that it has to do with ipv6, but i have it disabled.

disabled.

As I am stubborn, I saw that only when google-chrome is used I get these
messages (I use firefox for hours and get no message). In


/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0

use_tempaddr is set to “0” by default,
which is ok. So it’s google-chrome’s fault. However, I can live with the
error. I like google-chrome. I was just wondering why the message kept
showing up.
