** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
  
  I get random lockups in Feisty on my Thinkpad X40 laptop. I've got an
  atheros card, so lspci -n gives 168c:0013. When I boot I get an error:
  
  ERROR
  Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller in slot 01
     Bus:02, Device:02, Function:00
  
  Then I have to remove the network card, reboot, put the network card
  back in and boot again to make the network interface work. Before it
  hangs /var/log/messages contains this error:
  
  wifi0: hardware error; resetting
  wifi0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware: 'Hardware didn't respond as
  expected' (HAL status 3)
  
  The kernel version is 2.6.20-13-generic (version #2 SMP Sun Mar 25
  00:21:25).
  
  Under Feisty it doesn't seem to hang as it did under Edgy, but the
  network interface crashes irrevocably (restarting the network interface
- fails).
