Based on Wobo's report on bugzilla, it seems x86-64 system have not such problem. Perhaps we could mention that in the errata for a workaround? "Users have x86-64 CPU and atheros wifi are recommended to install x86-64 edition instead of i586, to avoid complete system freeze when connecting to wifi." Thanks, You-Cheng Hsieh
