Subject kind of says it all. My system freezes solidly as soon as I ifup the
network interface. Please see e.g.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg251287.html for more details.
Attached patch from mentioned URL fixes the problem for me. I haven't checked
if kernel devs used the same patch, though.
