[CS-FSLUG] Locked Up Laptop - Can't Reboot

[Don Parris]

Is pulling the battery an acceptable method for un-locking a frozen
laptop?  That was the only thing I could do.  I'm working on getting
wireless up and running on my laptop, running Ubuntu 5.10.

I am playing with a Linksys wireless G PCMCIA card, and thought I had
finally succeeded in getting my card to connect to the router - it was
the first time the link light on the wlan card lit up at all.  I made
a change to the security settings, which caused the light to flash a
few times, and then my screen froze completely.  No keyboard or mouse
access at all.  The one disadvantage of laptops is the lack of a reset
button.

Any other options?
