I installed linux-backports-modules-jaunty (generic) and turned off the
wireless network in network manager (this turned off the wireless LED).
But a few minutes later the machine hung anyway. I noticed that the
wireless LED had turned itself back on! I don't know if that happened
right at the moment of the freeze or some time before. This freeze was
different than before in that the mouse cursor could still be moved and
the CapsLock LED was not flashing. Otherwise the machine did not
respond, but the SysRq key worked.

In conclusion: 1) The backports-modules package did *not* resolve the
problem. 2) *Maybe* the wireless is indicated, since the LED came back
on. 3) The problem was not present in Intrepid, but it is there in
2.6.28 and remains in 2.6.30-rc[2-4].
