I just experienced a freeze on Intrepid, this is the first time it's happened on Intrepid. It also happened to me once under Hardy. It's definitely a random thing. I think it has something to do with signal strength and those "wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting" messages. I only get those when my signal quality is low and is doing a lot of disconnecting/reconnecting while in the process of transferring data.
