I've just removed the madwifi drivers. With no LAN or WLAN, I've managed
to freeze the laptop.

It's not related to HW failures, it's a really strange Ubuntu policy,
that drives an unstable kernel right into an LTS distribution.

I guess a 6 month release cycle is just not feasible.

This kernel should be upgraded to 2.6.26 or downgraded to 2.6.22, which
is the last, proven stable kernel.
