Hey, I've got one of these too, and I'm past sendback time (didn't do anything 
over xmas break)  So I'm trying to get it working.  I posted a bunch of debug 
info to the linux-tulip-bug list rather than this one.
  In reply to your question, I haven't had any problems with random lockups, 
I'm using cardservices 3.0.5, 3.0.6 locks my machine as soon as it is 
installed and I haven't gone about investigating why, I just switched back to 
3.0.5.  BTW I have a Gateway Solo 5100, I don't have the specs or the machine 
with me at the moment so I don't know the chipset, but I can provide that if 
desired.
