I have only experienced this bug when connecting using 802.11n. Otoh, my system doesn't completely lock up, just the network interface stops responding. The bug I am describing does sound a bit different from this one... I'm using a broadcom wireless adapter with the latest (1.53?) ndiswrapper and a driver that works on windoze. I believe what I'm experiencing is a kernel bug though because once the network interface goes down nothing short of a reboot will get it working again. I guess I should mention that I'm on 32bit hoary, but I've had the same exact experience with 64bit, and on both fiesty and gutsy on this particular machine, and using several drivers and several versions of ndiswrapper. My workaround is to just only connect using 802.11g or b and everything works just peachy (if not a little slower than I'd like).
