I managed to work around this bug in Intrepid doing the following steps: - compile kernel 2.6.28 (from wireless-testing branch) - use another wifi driver. (i now use rtl8187)
by switching to rtl8187, and fine-tuning the kernel, symptoms disappeared. i concluded the b43/ssb driver shipped in Intrepid kernel was to buggy to use.
