Pardon my earlier confusion. Of course, the 3945ABG is a wireless lan card, and the problematic device in this ticket is the wired LAN card. The correct device is:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1049] (rev 03) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:20de] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 27 Region 0: Memory at fe000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 1: Memory at fe025000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Region 2: I/O ports at 1840 [size=32] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e The difficulty seems to be arising from the e1000e module. In addition to disabling eth0 with ``ifconfig eth0 down``, the CPU spikes can be stopped by removing the e1000e module with ``modprobe -r e1000e``. Wired LAN does not currently function, and the hardware LEDs are constantly lit. -- events/0 spikes CPU every 3 seconds since upgrade to 2.6.31-20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
