I attempted to reproduce the problem earlier today by going through the 
same set of actions that preceded the lock-up I described earlier.  The 
system is still running normally at this time.  I'll give it a little 
bit longer (overnight) and see how it's doing tomorrow.

My experience with the laptop is pretty much as you described: I used it 
extensively running FC4 with no problems.  This is the first "random 
crash" since installing FC6.  I am running ndiswrapper with the Windows 
driver for my Broadcomm wireless NIC so the system is "tainted."  The 
only way I can use the bcm43xx wireless drives is if I disable security 
on my AP which I'm not going to do.

Cheers,
Dave
