Hi,
I've been getting kernel crashes at random when a video file just starts
to play (using VLC).
As soon as the first frame shows, the system locks up hard (sometimes
not even alt+sysrq+b works).
Just recently, when it crashed it was able to print an oops to the
syslog. The weird thing is that it says that it's a bug in mac80211? But
I only have the crash the instant a video file starts to play. (I have
an Intel 3945 wireles, and Intel i945 graphic card)
