I too was worried that it would be a hardware problem. However, since I've signed up for a developer key (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_Key) and have updated to Q2D07 firmware and Joyride 1431 build (developer builds), the problem has not come up since. I have it on basically all the time, IRCing and web browsing.

Another thing you should do before anything else is, as root, type 'yum update'. This should update a few system files, but I don't know if it will address the issue (it's certainly worth a shot).
