Hi, the thing is that it doesn't occur on my laptop (iwk) in the same location. It only occurs with my atheros card. I've disable hyperthreading, and that seems to have stablised it a little better, but it is still rather unreliable.
I'll try something out in a few minutes to see if that fixes things.
