Public bug reported: kernel oops at random when running wireless. Machine locks up with flashing caps-lock. No messages in /var/log. Kernel oops collected by serial console.
No known trigger other than running wireless, but the oops clearly identifies the line in the iwlwifi sources where it happens and the oops can be avoided by running a wired network connection.
