Since several month, I have a problem with my laptop. When I use the integrated network card, my computer freezes. Let me explain.

If I play a sound file with xmms while I'm surfing, it's ok. But if I stop typing at keyboard, 20-60s after the computer stops. The clock is blocked and the sound does not play anymore. I can't ssh to my laptop neither. When I come back I have to run ntpdate to set the clock back to the good time...

If I use my PCMCIA wifi card or if I unplug my network cable, I do not have any problem anymore.

I tried several driver and several 2.6 kernel for my Intel network card (e100 and eepro100) but it does not change anything. I use alsa for my sound card (snd-es1968).

I think it's an hardware issue, but I am not sure and I don't know why. :(
