I can confirm this bug under both Edgy and Feisty (stock kernels).

I am using a wireless card with a Realtek 8225 front-end chip. I have found that the system freezes ONLY when I am SENDING lots of data, NEVER when receiving. For example, if I throttle a file upload to 10 kB/s, it will continue to work indefinitely, but if I allow it to run at full speed the system will normally crash in a few seconds.

Who is maintaining this driver? I emailed the maintainer listed in the log files several months ago, but never received a response... I would like to try to fix this problem myself, but haven't made much headway. There's no indication in the system logs of anything going wrong before it crashes.
