I'm also having this problem after installing Intrepid. I downgraded to
Hardy for a week and had no problems. Now I'm back on Intrepid and I'm
experiencing freezing 2 to 3 times daily when running torrents. I have a
Netgear pci wireless adapter using the 5xxx series Atheros 802.11
driver. Also installed backports with no luck. Getting the same errors
of "wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting". This is definitely a major bug
that from my googling looks to have been going on for almost a year now.
Don't understand why it wouldn't get fixed ASAP as its the only option
for internet for a lot of people. I'm gonna stop bittorrent before I go
to sleep and see if it's frozen by morning.
