I looked on the internet and found a blog with the same problem:
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Received-response-from...
I went to CISCO to determine what the resolution was.
1. Live Chat support informed me that Linksys was only supported under
Windows and that I could call live support at 1-800-326-7114.
2. Live support made be perform rather silly tests under Windows. Then
passed me to a supervisor.
3. The Supervisor could not find the above email thread on their own site!
Linksys does not have an email address for support. And the people I spoke
to were not savvy enough to understand the problem as described in the above
thread.
Is Linksys a known problem for Linux systems? Should it be?
Are there any suggestions on how to bound the size of my message files other
that editing avhi so that it does not issue these warning messages?
To stop Avahi from spamming syslog, copy
/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service to /etc/systemd/system. Then
edit the newly copied /etc/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service and add
"StandardOutput=null" to the [Service] section. Finally, run
`systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart avahi-daemon.service` to
make the change take effect immediately.
I was online or on the phone to Linksys for over 3 hours. I do not
know
where they are located, but I could barely understand their english. It was
one of the worst support experiences in my 35 years of system involvement!
