Hi, there are two kinds of problems. When using LiveCD, Ubuntu freezes 
randomily and these freezes are probably NOT connected to wireless hardware. 
(This happens even when wireless is disabled). This also happens of fresh 
installs, and can be resolved by using ATI Catalyst drivers. I think, according 
to aforesaid, that the problem is in the xorg-video-drivers-ati or something 
like that.
BUT there is another freezing issue - the issue described in this bug, caused 
by wireless card.
In fact, when using Catalyst (as a workaround for the 1st type of freezes), you 
can run Ubuntu as long as u want, u can even reboot it and it will not freeze. 
But after switching it off and on, it will freeze. That happens on 11.04, 
scott-marlowe, is the situation in 10.10 different? Can u switch if off and on 
(laptop) and does it work without problems then?
My workaround is to blacklist the wired network module. I'll test the better 
BIOS workaround ment here and report.
