No, I use ethernet for my networking. The problem started happening
again recently (with iwlagn still blacklisted), and I couldn't stand
having to use the sysrq key to reboot every time I wanted to use my
computer after a long period of inactivity, so I upgraded to Jaunty in
the hope that it would go away (thankfully, I haven't seen it again so
far, though I miss Amarok 1, and JuK/Phonon seem to have reliability
issues).
One other notable thing was that if I switched into a VT and hit
Ctrl+Alt+Del when auth wasn't working, the shutdown process would hang
on whatever daemon was first to be stopped (or something similar, I
don't remember). On the other hand, if I used Alt+SysRq+e and then hit
Ctrl+Alt+Del (whether it's the first or second time hitting it),
shutdown would proceed properly. I think at one point I also found that
after hitting Alt+SysRq+e, I was able to log in properly, but this isn't
a useful workaround, since the system is presumably not in a good state
after sending a TERM signal to every process.
I'll attach an archive with the three files you requested (from a backup
that was taken before I upgraded), but you'll probably find that they're
untouched, because I don't know anything about PAM.
