I guess I should say which kernel, though I'm given to understand that it has been fixed and merged into 3.2 already:
The kernel: 3.0.0-12- generic 3.0.0-12.20 Linux kernel image for version 3.0.0 on x86/x86_64
ii linux-image-
The NIC:
12:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
The request is more to stop logging the warning, than it is to make the issue go away.
