The wireless (Intel 5350) causes a hard-freeze often enough to be 
annoying.  Usually the caps-lock key blinks continuously once the freeze 
happens.  It doesn't seem limited to any specific kind of connection, 
but it becomes more frequent under heavy use.  Disabling wireless via 
switch on back and using the wired ethernet  avoids the trouble, 
suggesting a driver issue (rather than application software).

I commented on a bug that someone started, but there doesn't seem to be 
enough focus (on wireless) in either of the following reports:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/367464
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/352373

Anyone else experiencing freezes during wireless network activity?
