Sure you can - put a switch in the phone's advanced preferences! :')
Anyway, I have always felt that with a little dress-up, the verbose
startup could become reassuring rather than alarming. The reason
it's alarming is mostly that it just sits there saying nothing
intelligible to the end-user. If it said things like "probing for
Atheros ethernet device... found." or "configuring network..." then
the end user might be less alarmed. If you don't know any better
though I think it looks too much like a Windows crash, to which old-
timers are too painfully accustomed.
