syslog: how to discard unwanted messages?

[r1vver]

I’m still fighting with my Sun QFE NIC.
It’s driver have very nice “feature” to spam every 10 timer ticks (or so) messages “Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode” and “Link down, cable problem?” to log if there is no connection on port.
May be it’s very useful for some testing purposes, but…

So, i want to filter and discard those 2 messages from log.

I was able to edit /root/kerbynet.cgi/template.cfg/syslog.conf:

root@zeroshell syslog> cat /root/kerbynet.cgi/template.cfg/syslog.conf

/etc/syslog.conf

:msg, contains, "Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode" ~

:msg, contains, "Link down, cable problem?" ~

*.* |/tmp/logpipe

so now /etc/syslog.conf is look like:

root@zeroshell syslog> cat /etc/syslog.conf

:msg, contains, "Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode" ~

:msg, contains, "Link down, cable problem?" ~

*.* |/tmp/logpipe

But i still get those messages in log:

[ 1107.650056] ETH00: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

[ 1107.690056] ETH01: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

[ 1107.720056] ETH02: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

[ 1117.250144] ETH00: Link down, cable problem?

[ 1117.290144] ETH01: Link down, cable problem?

[ 1117.320141] ETH02: Link down, cable problem?

[ 1129.250055] ETH00: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

[ 1129.290053] ETH01: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

[ 1129.320052] ETH02: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

[ 1138.850146] ETH00: Link down, cable problem?

[ 1138.890143] ETH01: Link down, cable problem?

[ 1138.920141] ETH02: Link down, cable problem?

How to “fix” it right way?
