I have a similar but worse problem. I tried to disable wifi and it panicked. Now it panics on normal boot. In recovery console, it panics when enabling networking. If I disable the wifi mac80211 module, it boots but panics when I plug in the mouse or keyboard. The device is an EXO netbook.
Reboots do not help. Powerdowns and restats do not help. How do I set this to a state where ir doesn't panic anymore? The work around is this: on panic unplug everything even the AC and remove the battery or wait for it to stop completely. Then perhaps wait five minutes. Dance in a circle saying "Thank you Shawn. I am grateful" three times. Then plug it back in again and restart. To disable wifi, the same procedure would seem to cause fewer problems but I feel you could simply go through the shutdown procedure. I will post later from the computer later for devs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021086 Title: 8086:0091 Kernel Panic when re-enabling wifi via Fn+F2 on Dell XPS 15z Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I get a kernel panic when when re-enabling my wireless card pressing Fn+F2 on my Dell XPS 15z.
