This is still a problem as of 4/9/2007 (kernel 2.6.20-14). I just removed the rt61 card from my system for now, but if it's at all possible at this late date, please do -not- ship feisty with this bug. It's very hard to diagnose ('Everything just stops, except mouse movement!'), and rt61 cards aren't all that uncommon.
May I ask what exactly 'needs info' about this bug?
In my logs I found the following, but the machine ran for a while after this and then locked up hours later. When it actually locks, there are no messages saved in the logs, and I don't have a serial console available right now. Removing the rt61 card from my system has restored stability.

I hope this helps, and I hope this will be addressed before feisty ships.
