Comment on attachment 293454 [details] kernel log (unscrollable, hard lockup) example from zd1201 this happens right after "ifconfig interface up"
I recall a zd1201 bug from back then that caused a crash...are you using the lastest FC6 kernel? FC6 is outside of its supported life. Have you considered installing F8?
Another module, acx111, crashes in exactly the same manner, I thought of that as of a rather unlikely coincidence. No crashes with 2.6.20-something, although I can't use 2.6.20-something because it has problems with my motherboard. The kernel is the most recent that was placed in the Yum repository, and a move to F8 is not appealing since F9 is "around the corner".
Fedora 6 is no longer supported, you'll have to update to 7 or 8.
