I did my best but as I expected I wasn't able to make my wifi to work properly with kernel 3.8.
The thing is that my wifi works in my ubuntu 12.10 as I separate module in the kernel (see http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card- realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized). This solution is not adapted for 3.8 or solved hence wifi is not recognised when I apply you mainline kernel. I don't really think that this issue relates to the torrent bug because as I said I got the problem already with other computer. On the other hand, after some digging, I have seen many people asking for help because of the same torrent problem. A suggestion is to reduce the max number of seeds. I'll try that workaround to see if it works but I still think that the network should freeze like that.
