Net block fills journal with errors

[Nemris]

Overview

After having updated i3status-rust to v0.30.3-1, I ported my old networkmanager block configuration to the net block, as follows:

[[block]]
block = "net"
device = "^wlp2s0$"
format = " $icon $ssid ($ip) \\| $signal_strength"

However, everytime I summon i3bar by holding the Meta key, the following error messages are written in the kernel logs at every update interval of the block:

Feb 27 00:24:53 master kernel: ERROR @wl_dev_intvar_get : 
Feb 27 00:24:53 master kernel: error (-1)
Feb 27 00:24:53 master kernel: ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_tx_power : 
Feb 27 00:24:53 master kernel: error (-1)

By searching the issue tracker, it appears that #1414 was about a similar problem - however, I didn't happen upon this behavior while I was using the old networkmanager block.

It appears that this issue is still present irrespective of updates, so I'll be disabling the net block for the time being. I'll remain available in case I can assist in testing fixes.

Not sure what we can do - doesn't your link point to it being an issue with the broadcom driver?

[Nemris]

I suppose so, but why didn't this behavior emerge while using the old networkmanager block?

Do you have any pointers about how to investigate this further? Unless my Google-Fu failed me hard, I couldn't find much information about this specific error - and driver issues of this kind are a bit outside my area of expertise. Unfortunately, I can't just skip this specific driver either.
