[Bug 546871] Re: ath5k system freeze induced by Chrome bookmark sync

[Andrew Cowie]

Just to clarify - since I upgraded the drivers, I have found that the
google bookmark sync doesn't cause the hang (which can be positively
identified by caps lock light not showing) - this is a great improvement
over the situation when this bug report was opened.

However I am suspicious that heavy network usage (e.g. bittorrent) is
still causing these hangs say once every 24-48 hours. I've upgraded my
drivers - here's the output of sudo lshw -C network

  *-network

So I will continue with this config and let you know if I see another
crash.
