Me too, I'm running an Averatec 3715-EH1 laptop with an internal RT2500 wireless card. Worked perfectly in Breezy, then I apt-get dist-upgraded to Dapper yesterday. Now when I 'ifup ra0' or 'dhclient ra0' the system hangs.

I had the same problem, I think that it has to do with the latest via Xorg driver. When I put:
Option          "DisableIRQ"
to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the problem went away.

Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier "VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter"
Driver "via"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "DisableIRQ"
EndSection
