Problem is'nt ethernet/wireless controller drivers. Problem comes from 2.6.31 (in 2.6.30 it worked) kernel & memory allocation when ACPI is enabled.
I tried changing laptop's wireless card for an atheros, and problem was still there. You can either: - Boot kernel with ACPI disabled, as stated ad bugzilla.kernel.org. (haven't tried) - Patch and build a new kernel, even if it is 64bit. - Wait till the patch is included in a karmic kernel update. - Use a USB wireless dongle. I did to get linux source, and kernel tools to build a new one.
