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.
-- events/0 uses all of cpu, causes big slowdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
