I'd love to see the full debug logs for NM. As per our IRC discussion, can you please attach those to the bug as well?
sudo stop network-manager sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon --log-level=debug > nm.log 2>&1 On quick glance, I wonder if it's not that it's trying to bring up the devices with IPv6 automatic, and required for the connection to stay up. It looks like what was happening in those cases, and should be very clear in the logs if it's the cause of the issues, and any other cause should be pretty clear from the NM debug logs as well. At least from the fact that the behavior shows in ip monitor when NM is running, and doesn't show when it's not running, indicates to me that it's likely a bug in NM. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1111926 Title: NetworkManager increases CPU utilization Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Observed in systems if gnome gui is installed.
