As Chris mentioned, the kernel panic will usually be dumped to the terminal window. You may also want to check if it may have been captured at /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/kern.log.0 . However I've also spoken with the Ubuntu kernel team and they are currently doing a backport to pull in an updated wireless stack. So based syko21's comment "the Oct-1-2008 compat-wireless iwlagn module fixes the kernel panic issue" I'm hopeful this backport should resolve this issue. I'll try to update this report when the package is available for testing. Thanks.
