[Bug 67126] Re: events/0 uses all of cpu, causes big slowdown

[tuxo]

I have the same problem as of a few days ago (as of 8.7.2007). My laptop
is running Ubuntu Dapper and I have an external PCMCIA Belkin wirless
cards (Ralink rt2500). I can get wirless to work, but after a few
seconds spent on the internet, wirless stops working and the cpu load
goes up to 100%. Looking at the processes running, I see an events/0
process dominating the processor. I have never seen such a behavior
beforehand on this laptop, running for more than a year without changes
to the hardware. Unplugging the wirelsss card stops the events/0 process
from using 100% and everything is back to normal. When repluging the
wireless card the networks starts again, but using it for only a few
seconds brings up the events/0 process at 100% once more. These steps
can be repeated ad infinitum.
