[Novalug] ubuntu feisty freezing!

[Mike H]

John,

Funny thing is, I was using the ATI proprietary driver in ubuntu edgy with
no problem.  Also, I am not using the broadcom device.  Rather, I am using a
netgear (atheros chipset) wireless card.

The serial debugger option sounds interesting.  Could you suggest web links
where I could, as a newb, start reading about it?

This issue has a mind of its own and seems random.  I cannot link it to a
particular application.

Thnx,

Mike
