I tried to remove the tg3 module, i'm using that since i have a Broadcome 5702 integrated nic, and then the cpu use went back to normal. Kernel logs show nothing unusual. The only kerneles i have noticed this on is them based on 2.6.7. dmesg | grep eth gives this output: eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95702A20) rev 1002 PHY(5703)] (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:e0:18:d2:6c:bf eth0: HostTXDS[1] RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1] tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX. eth0: no IPv6 routers present lspci -vvv gives this info about my nic: 0000:02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 80a9 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR-
