I'm using Debian Squeeze, kernel 2.6.32-5 on a Thinkpad A31.

/var/log/kern.log is full of
eth1: New link status: Connected (0001)
Several log messages every few seconds

Doing ifconfig eth1 down stops the event/0 cpu hogging as well as the kernel 
error messages.
However, this is hardly a solution since the wireless card won't be useable 
anymore.

Doing ifconfig eth1 up gives me the following error message:
[22433.552023] hermes @ e0fca000: Timout waiting for the command 0x0121 
completion.
[22433.552023] eth1: Error -16 setting MAC address
[22433.552023] eth1: Error -16 configuring card
SIOCSIFFLAGS

/var/log/messages shows me
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: link becomes ready
hermes @ e0fca000: Card removed while waiting for command 0x0002 completion
eth1: Unable to disable port while reconfiguring card
eth1: Resetting instead...
eth1: IRQ handler is looping too much! Resetting.

The battery removal ritual didn't work for me.
