Thanks for your reply. I upgraded the kernel and updated all other 
packages installed. I also uninstalled the wireless driver.
atiixp still suffers from a IRQ conflict, w/ "codec read timeout". While 
atiixp-modem complains about /dev/pts/0: no such file or directory.
This is not surpising because i already had the latest alsa installed 
before upgrade.
It appears that the fix lies in making atiixp-modem driver stable; it is 
currently experimental.

Thanks,
