I tried both acpi=off in GRUB, and Larry's sudo iwconfig eth1 power off. Neither worked. Any other ideas? Is there a way to tell whats triggering events/0 to be exercised?
Thanks,
Eric

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:

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.

I looked for /boot/grub/menu.lst
Then, I tried to run grub, but grub is not currently installed. Is LILO the preferred boot loader? I thought for sure Grub would be...
