Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I'm experiencing hard lockups almost every time I use Rhythmbox in order to listen to any radio station.
After just few minutes, the screen, mouse, keyboard and sound simple freeze and I'm forced to hard reset the PC.
I'm using Hardy with the latest patches installed.
Update: After having run some extra tests, I think I can say that the issue is not caused by Rhythmbox as such, but most likely either by my USB wireless adapter (Digicom USB Wave 54 - zd1211rw) or by the USB 2.0 PCI card (D-Link DU-520 with NEC chipset) to which the wireless device is connected.
I even downloaded/
In fact, if I connect the PC with the onboard ethernet adapter (Intel Ethernet Pro 100) everything seems to work fine (I haven't experienced any lockups during the last hour or so).
Has anyone reported problems with zd1211rw or with an add-on USB 2.0 PCI card?

I even downloaded/ installed the latest zd1211 firmware from sourceforge.net but with no success..
In fact, if I connect the PC with the onboard ethernet adapter (Intel Ethernet Pro 100) everything seems to work fine (I haven't experienced any lockups during the last hour or so).

P.S.: I forgot to mention that I use Wicd 1.4.2
