Nope, I haven't. I see some very rare weirdness, like PCMCIA killing USB,
but nothing like your case
Is there a way to get netconsole or something... ? SysRq-T?
Well, new bit of info, it has nothing at all to do with the cisco
wireless card. I just put in a xircom 10/100 card and got the same
thing. I did see a backtrace of something shoot past past as it was
coming up but i didn't get to actually read any of it. Well the only
word i saw was 'workqueue' but I have NO idea anything else around it.
I'm going to have to find a way to hook up a serial console I guess.
sysrq-t works, but i don't have any way to collect the info.
