Isn't the bge driver for Broadcom NICs? And like I said, I didn't even scan the logs. Just quick idea off top of my head based on similar behavior. Could well be entirely different underlying cause. Yes, the bge is broadcom but I think there have been issues with other nics. > And what do you mean by "the other nvidia based interface"?

I didn't mean to imply that I had the same mainboard you reported. I have a few different nics lying around so for me this was easy test: bge -> high cpu load under 'idle'; nvidia -> goes away. > Nevertheless it could be worth to try a different network driver. > However, as I mentioned in my previous post, my know-how concerning unix > is very limited.

But I see others are putting you on diagnostic dtrace track so I'll bow out now.
