Hi,  
 
I've same issue. If I remove wifi antenna, device is booted OK. If I've plug antenna I have kernel panic messages during device boot. 
As I understand this issue starts on ifup wlan0.  
I've tried unplug antenna boot device, and after login plug antenna. Wi-Fi is working like for antimatter post. 
 
I've tried to disable powermanagement  
1. /etc//NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf  
   wifi.powersave = 3 -> wifi.powersave = 2 
2. /etc/network/interfaces 
  add  -> wireless-power off 
 
But no effect. May be that is for iwconfig is not installed.
