I am using ipw2200 on kernel 2.6.22-rc4, with Intel's firmware; and
you seem to be correct that it is a driver conflict, since switching
VTs works fine while getting a network connection from a wired
network. Thanks for the suggestion!
Now where is the appropriate place to send this bug? I'm no longer
sure the video driver is really involved, although I did not see this
problem under the non-modesetting branch.
