Hi,

I installed the Alpha 5 and Alpha 6 release of Ubtuntu Hardy.
Using Alpha 5 I had several random freezes and the only thing I
could do was to hard reboot. After update to alpha 6 I had the same
trouble. At first I suspected the video driver so I tried working
for a while in text mode. That revealed the actual problem. It had
nothing to do with the video driver, but everything with the wireless
driver for the RT61 card (found in many laptops, like my packard bell 
easynote). The kernel crashed with a stack dump, which I could not
save since I get a complete kernel panic. I wrote down the panic on
paper, so don't flame me if I made a mistake transcribing:

ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe +0x12/0x120[mac 8021]
SS:ESP 0068:c0419ea0
Kernel panic-not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt


I now work without the rt61 and use an usb wireless (based on zd1211) 
and that works fine.
