             nThis:


Today, i did the following:
- unplug my network cable
- walk to the next office
- replug my network cable
- in the mean time, nm tried to connect to Wireless network "wpa2-test" (which
  does not work currently, since knm apparently never asks for the kwallet,
  but this is a different issue)
- it does not automatically detect that there is a cable plugged, so i select
  "cable" in knetworkmanager
- network is up, i am happy and go away.
I come back after maybe one hour and find, that something is loading my CPU to
100%. The screen is blanked, the fan is roaring. I touch the machine and CPU
usage stops. I see that everything is swapping in slowly.

ps aux shows: 
seife@strolchi:~> ps aux|grep etwork
seife 8345 0.9  0.8  30176  8560 ?   S   Oct31  11:36 knetworkmanager [kdeinit] 
root  9772 1.1  0.1   5308  1200 ?   Ss  12:36 3:09
/usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher
root  9777 4.8 53.6 1244844 550816 ? Ssl 12:36  14:02 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager

ok. So this is a typical case of "WTF????".
NetworkManager logfile is 1.5GB. Last rotated yesterday.

Will attach the output of "pmap" for the NM process and the logfile.
