I've got a Satellite Pro 445CDT that wedged reliably with a
combination of 64M memory upgrade, 10/100 cardbus ethernet
(3-Com Megahertz), and XFree86.  To make a long story short,
it's now running fairly reliably with the ethernet configured
to 10Mbit (one lockup while tunnelling X over ssh).  My guess
is that the fast ethernet uses too much memory bandwidth and
interferes with memory refresh (heavy network usage in text
mode would corrupt new output before crashing).

PS - I can forward dmesg and X logs if you're interested in
	comparing working hardware.
