Comment 290 for bug 204996

Well I have a Toshiba Tecra A8-103 laptop with Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller network card.
My wireless adapter is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.
See attached file for hardware info.
I can reproduce the lockup when there is network traffic through my wired interface.
If I download a file from the internet or update-manager downloads a package the system locks up and even Alt+SysReq+R+E+I+S+U+B can help.
If I disable the wired cable and connect to the internet through my wireless card everything seems to be OK.
I have downloaded at least 1GB without lockups.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy had restricted drivers for this card.
Now Hardy has its own drivers (non restricted). Can anyone confirm if this is the case?
I will try to install the restricted drivers and see if it solves the problem.
I hope I'm not wrong
