Comment 38 for bug 276445

I'm also having this problem after installing Intrepid. I downgraded to Hardy for a week and had no problems. Now I'm back on Intrepid and I'm experiencing freezing 2 to 3 times daily when running torrents. I have a Netgear pci wireless adapter using the 5xxx series Atheros 802.11 driver. Also installed backports with no luck. Getting the same errors of "wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting". This is definitely a major bug that from my googling looks to have been going on for almost a year now. Don't understand why it wouldn't get fixed ASAP as its the only option for internet for a lot of people. I'm gonna stop bittorrent before I go to sleep and see if it's frozen by morning.
