hmm, Not sure!
It sounds like a driver issue or it wouldn't work at all.
there should be no difference in browsing data as opposed to data being sent over a network. Does the card function ok downloading larger files via a network? eg sound files or movies? what about large graphics intensive web sites or streaming content. does it lock up then?
To me it smells like Voyager. Are yoou using that browser? I get lockups too using that thing and only after d/l mind u Ibrowse V1 and 2 did the same.
