Does anyone here has backport-modules installed? I was having a hard
freeze (with no output, just the complete freeze) with disapeared after
uninstalling backport modules. My hardware is a core2duo laptop with ati
graphics (X1600) and intel iwl3945 wireless card. When someone sugested
that the crash could be related to wireless networking I remembered that
hardy default driver was iwl3945 1.2.0 and backport modules provided a
more recent one... I notice an obvious difference in performace between
the to driver versions, but the crashes seem to go away.

backport-modules include mac80211 and iwlwifi new versions, as well as
other drivers, so if the problem was in mac80211 this could be the
reason why so many different hardware configurations are affected right?

The freeze started around beta time (a little bit before, as I can
recall) and remained till I removed backport-modules the other day. Now
i'm with kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
