Comment 23 for bug 300693

Not sure which of the changes did it, but so far my laptop has gone the entire weekend without a kernel panic, which since upgrading to 8.10 is something of an achievement.

The changes I've made:
- currently using the ath5k module
- upgraded to the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package (2.6.27.9.13)
- upgraded to the nvidia-glx-180 package (180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1)

The only remaining annoyance is that network traffic seems to pause every so often which can make VoIP calls from the laptop a little annoying. However, it's considerably better than the laptop spontaneously kernel panicking.
