I get the same issues in 10.4 (yes, 4). On a regular basis now, resuming 
from sleep has a chance of breaking networking such that the menu bar 
(containing the wireless icon) jams in hypowheel territory, and any 
application that touches networking follows suit. This is the same kind 
of "jammed" that I've complained about before (possibly not here), where 
kill -9 signals *don't work*.

Note that this machine has never "suffered" an OS upgrade, other than 
the System Update security patches, so I'm not sure blame can be pointed 
at to upgrade installs vs. simply Windows 98-style degredation over time.

(Yes, the hardware all tests clean, apart from the battery being shot.)
