events/0 eats 50% CPU when Network Manager runs

[Mogens Kjaer]

I have a Lenovo X61s with F12, kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE

I normally use Network Manager to manage the wireless, however,
recently my events/0 process is using 50% CPU time (measured with top -d
60).

The load stays high even if I disable the wireless and remove the iwlagn
module. The machine doesn't have a wired connection.

"/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop" cures the problem and brings the
load down.

When NetworkManager is running, but with disabled wireless, I don't
see anything special in /proc/interrupts, except for the timers.

Why is Network Manager generating all these events? How do I stop
it from doing this - keeping Network Manager running?
