Hi there,
I can confirm this bug reported by Norbert. I didn't experience any problems
under breezy/dapper/edgy, only after upgrading to feisty the trouble with the
wlan card began, in particular (not to say only) in combination with heavy
network load (torrent, mule, etc.)
What I experienced was in best case the strange disconnect from AP mentioned
above with a similar output in /var/log/messages. However, in 9 of 10 cases the
machine entirely froze (what Norbert maybe referred to as kernel panic). Unlike
Bug #108602, I also don't get a "kernel bug" message, either a total freeze, or
the disconnect from the AP, that's it. I have no output from dmesg available
because I switched to wired connection again, as I want to use the computer.
I'm running a feisty 7.04 with all patches available.
Output from uname -a:
Linux simon-PC 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
from lspci I get for the wlan adapter:

I'd be really grateful for any hint how I can enjoy my Feisty in the
same way I did with it's predecessors!
