avahi is the zeroconf daemon, I believe. It is related to obtaining your IP address. Seems like something must have gone wrong... it should never use CPU like that.

what the point of reading general information when you dont know how to fix it on the n900? the whole point of me asking is to see if anyone have this problem before and know how to fix it pretending to the N900 itself.
