This crash does not happen with kernel 2.6.36, and with 2.6.37, it happens quite rarely. However, I can increase the chances of it happening by heavily browsing the Internet, and especially when seekinbg in Youtube videos, leading to a lot of downloading. Another post in this mailing list is this one: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2011-January/002935.html since it reports a crash issue specific to 2.6.37 that did not happen in 2.6.36 (started with http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2010-December/002868.html). Finally, this issue seems to affect other users: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613049&page=2 "There is a fairly easy to trigger crash in this one with my USB Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter (rt73/rt2x00lib). I am trying to get a proper snapshot of the trace for a report but at least people might want to be a bit careful." Eric
