joining the wi lockup bandwagon...

Just did a quick search around for the lockup problem using the wi
driver.

Good to see I'm not alone! ;)

Just read the most recent post that I could find but not sure what the
status is.

Just bought this wireless stuff yesterday thinking it was going to make
life easier!! ;) For the record, I think I'm running what everyone else
is running..

Recovery only comes in the form of a reboot for me.
