I just got a new Syntax USB wireless gizmo (runs Prism driver) and I
think it's the cause of my troubles, but I don't really know where to
go next. Dell 5150 Insipiron running Fedora RC1. Everything works
fine for a few hours and then, unexplainably (and unrecreatably), the
capslock light ("A" in a padlock) and light to the right of it (down
arrow in a padlock - is that scroll lock?) start blinking, and I'm
locked up. Only a cold reset will fix me, and I hate doing that.

Anybody familiar with the diagnostics for this thing? Not that
knowing what that blinking thing means would help me solve it :), but
it's nice to know. Maybe it'll help tell me why it only started
happening after I got my new USB wireless.
