Just to clarify - since I upgraded the drivers, I have found that the
google bookmark sync doesn't cause the hang (which can be positively
identified by caps lock light not showing) - this is a great improvement
over the situation when this bug report was opened.
However I am suspicious that heavy network usage (e.g. bittorrent) is
still causing these hangs say once every 24-48 hours. I've upgraded my
drivers - here's the output of sudo lshw -C network
*-network

So I will continue with this config and let you know if I see another
crash.
