Attempting to bring up a connection with a Gigabyte GN-WP01GS PCI card (using KDE network manager, I put in the WEP key then clicked "OK") hung the machine. The mouse pointer still moved, but there was no response to mouse actions or keyboard. So I hit the power button after waiting a while to see if anything would happen "in good time". Ho hum. Machine is dual Athlon XP 1.6GHz on Tyan Tiger MPX S2466 mainboard (AMD 760MPX chipset).
Relevant bits of logs, up to last line before I hit the power button:
