kernel-panic

I've been having a recurring kernel panic with my Ubuntu 9.04 installation (see other posts by me).

Today, I was fiddling around trying to get some cable attached when the system panicked. Looking at the layout, the only cable in the vicinity was the network cable. Upon further investigation, it seems that the system reliably panics whenever I insert a network cable. Removing the cable does not cause the panic.

How do I stop the system panicking when I insert the network cable?

If more information is needed, please add comments/answers and I'll post the required data.
