(Get the code!)
Anthony, that last is to me REAL interesting.
See, I not only don't have anything Ralink in my rig, I'm not having network connection issues at all. And I rotate between three connections: Atheros WiFi, Marvell Ethernet and a PCMCIA cellmodem (Verizon EVDO). The split is about 30/10/60 in that order. All were find in Gutsy, fine in Hardy.
So. If you were freezing, and I was freezing, then it sure as hell looks like there were two different causes. That's Goddamn scary is what that is. It suggests the basic Ubuntu 2.6.24 kernel is unstable.
I've been using the -rt kernel hard'n'heavy for about 7 or 8 hours now, including the last couple compiling 2.6.25 just for kicks. With Compiz ON, web pages up, and Pandora web-radio playing in the background (Rammstein channel, hell yeah!). CPU activity pretty much pegged solid, although it's still quite responsive :). Anyways. That should have blow it to hell and gone. It hasn't.
So the -rt kernel is a viable option for those not into compiling their own kernel.
