Drives me crazy, can anyone suggest anything, to make this dissapear?

This message stems from a new feature introduced in OS X Lion's kernel, which appears to collect network statistics. Given that every machine spits it out every now and then, it can safely be classified as simple noise.
The fact that it appears in the kernel log is probably a mere oversight on the side of Apple, as the message is certainly not critical and of absolutely no value. It looks like a debugging message the developer forgot to comment out.
This page by Simon Heimlicher analyzes the kernel source code and provides a kernel configuration change to disable network statistics collection and suppress the error message permanently.
