Unlikely... I'm getting this when the ethernet is plugged in..  So it should
only be listening to the 802.3, not 802.11.  However there is definitely a
correlation between these error messages and the crash.  The crashes always
follow a long string of these (however just seeing these errors do not
necessarily mean a crash is imminent).
