This is probably not a duplicate of #203016, because:

1. The other bug reports a slow memory leak, around 4MB per hour.
Reporters here experience very rapid RAM consumption. For me,
NetworkManager consumes all 2GB of RAM within minutes.

2. The other bug is not associated with high CPU usage. (One reporter
shows NetworkManager using 1% of CPU while experiencing the problem.)
Reporters here experience NetworkManager consuming all available CPU.

3. Reporters here have their syslog spammed with: " NetworkManager:
<WARN>  nm_error_monitoring_device_link_state(): error monitoring wired
ethernet link state: error occurred while waiting for data on socket".
This is not associated with the other bug, with the exception of two
reporters who, as detailed below, I believe have posted in the wrong
bug.

4. With one exception, reporters here all have a Texas Instruments ACX
wireless network card. None of the reporters in #203016 have this card,
except for the two mentioned above.

5. Reporters here complain of the problem even after a fix was released
for #203016.

The two reports of high CPU usage, rapid RAM consumption, and/or
"nm_error_monitoring_device_link_state" error messages in bug #203016
are also the only two owners of Texas Instruments ACX wireless cards.
They are also the last two reports: i.e. they experience problems later
than everybody else. They probably belong in this bug, not that one.

I also have a Texas Instruments ACX 111 wireless chipset. NetworkManager
consumes 100% CPU and eats RAM, forcing me to kill it, while filling
syslog with the "error monitoring wired ethernet link state" message.
