Network issue with PB 12"

[Tom Burke]

I posted here a while ago that I had been experiencing networking 
problems with my 12" PB - specifically, that the kernel would switch 
off the en0 port occasionally, and that querying the OS (via the 
ipconfig command) would reveal the existence of a panic for that port. 
I also said that this problem was especially likely to occur whenever I 
switched Locations, esp. when switching from a Location where the en1 
(wifi) port was active to one where en0 (ethernet) was the active 
network port.

As part of a general review of where I was with the machine I decided 
to turn off the Bluetooth port - I don't have any Bluetooth devices, so 
it's unnecessary.  It's also the big difference, in networking terms, 
between the 12" PB and both my old Lombard and my wife's Pismo, neither 
of which ever experienced the problems the PB has. Since doing this, 
networking on the PB has been completely stable. So there may be some 
issue about the interaction between the various ports when Bluetooth is 
active.

Anyone else have any experience in this area? Anyone else with a 12" PB 
using Bluetooth?
