Tried commenting out the eth0 in the /etc/network. No effect. This is not related to whether the wireless is connected to the router or not either. Everything around me is ecrypted and I have not yet entered the encryption key. I get soft lockup at random several minutes after boot. Its got to be a bug with the RT61 drivers themselves. I had a similar problem in Gentoo on a different machine, my stable system began to lock at random as soon as I installed the RT61. My solution for that machine had been to buy a different wireless card (Atheros chipset) and reinstall OS. I'd prefer it if the drivers could be fixed for RT61, buying two wireless cards per machine is getting expensive rather quickly.
