I've also seen this issue. It seems that, when connecting to a wifi network, 
the entire system freezes (kernel panic?).
Here's some info:

$ lsb_release -r

This are the last lines of kernel.log before a crash:

I'm not an expert in debugging kernel problems but, so many "^@" doesn't
seem right.

Thanks for any help
