Comment 4 for bug 228633

I am also having the same/similar issue. I have an Edimax EW-7128G PCI wireless card in my machine. When I am not using it, the system doesn't freeze. If I use it, randomly when accessing the Internet, or especially when downloading large files, the system will completely freeze and the Caps lock Scroll lock lights on the keyboard blink.

Here are my system specs in case it helps:

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Asus EN8400GS
Edimax EW-7128G
Evga 680i Motherboard

I have heard this may be related to the generic kernel and possibly any wireless card with a RT61 chipset. Anyone with helpful information?
