Thanks for your assistance. Just tested with latest upstream kernel and can successfully use WiFi without a Kernel Panic.

This prevents the system from booting. This appears to be an issue relating to the mPCI WiFi+BT module (Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter) included with the system. A workaround is to boot using the older linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic (trusty).
