The latest kernel 3.16 driver doesn't Panic but it still has driver failures that render the driver and device unable to scan and find networks.
No need for a bisect since this driver is in staging, and is a work-in- progress. For Trusty 3.13 kernel it may be necessary to disable building the module since there is nothing we can do downstream to make it work.

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).
