Fresh Ubuntu Installation - Events/0 consumes most of cpu

[Dazed_75]

I was having trouble with a machine I upgraded and found a solution.
Unfortunately, that machine has no video card at the moment so I can't check
for events/0.  But the problem  did have to do with some sluggishness and
intermittent wireless connectivity and it was also using a rt2500 like in
that bug report.  I can't find the reference I found before but here is
another though it lists no solution:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484450&page=1

The solution I found claimed that it was an old bug that got re-introduced
into the kernel driver and that the fix had been committed so would be
re-fixed in the next kernel.  In the meantime, the problem fix can be tested
with "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off" from a terminal (your interface may be
other than wlan0).  This apparently turns off a frequent activity to power
down the card or something like that.

Once I did this the machine was fine until I had to steal the video card for
the club computer.
