Fresh Ubuntu Installation - Events/0 consumes most of cpu

[Eric Cope]

I looked in dmesg... I get :

[4951.040817] eth1: New link status: Connected (0001)
[4952.436157] eth1: New link status: Connected (0001)

I tried "sudo ifdown eth1" ... I get interface eth1 not configured.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
