Bug Description
Alright. This is one of the stranger bugs I've seen and it already happened while I was still on hardy. I don't even have an idea of what package the problem could be in or if it is a hardware issue after all. Please comment here if you have a similar problem.
Most of the time I have a wired internet connection, but recently I'm using WLAN a lot and I stumbled on the following. I have a Zonet ZCF1100 802.11b wifi card in the compact flash slot of my Thinkpad X24. The connection is wpa-protected. When WLAN is under heavy load (100KB/sec and more), the mouse starts to drift to the left. Once the load drops, the drifting seems to stop.

I wonder if bug 334957 and bug 334549 share some commonality?
It was suggested in #ubuntu-bugs to look into shared interrupts.
