Most distributions nowadays configure NetworkManager to use randomly generated MAC addresses for Wi-Fi network scans. The interfaces end up being periodically brought down for the address change. When they're subsequently brought back up, the message is logged, eventually flooding the log. Perhaps the message is not all that helpful: it seems to be more interesting to hear when the addrconf actually start, not when it does not. Let's lower its level.
