For the past one month I am facing random freezes on my Asus 1005px EEEpc. Here I have filed a public bug report on launchpad. There I was informed that it is a duplicate of an already reported bug. I was adviced not to shift to ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition in an answer to the question I posted here. By turning off the network services, wireless and also after some tests, I strongly believe that it is caused by the wireless driver. The wireless card is: Atheros AR2427. I have to install the drivers manually by executing this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic
There is no response on the bug report page. The issue has become a big pain. Many times I have lost very imprortant work because of that bug. Please suggest some solution. If there is no solution, atleast tell me how can I avoid system freezes.

Unfortunately it looks like that card isn't supported yet, but you could try these instructions.
