Also, to catch up with an older comment...

John, Intrepid's driver can't be built for a newer system. I'm also not sure it would solve the problem if someone forward-ported it. As far as I can tell, the driver has always been broken for these chipsets, but was being used in just the right circumstances on older systems that it in practice didn't crash that often. That's why I had a hard time bisecting the issue. Everybody got different results for which versions were unstable, so I had to give up on that approach.
