Today I tried
Kernel v3.8-rc1-raring
and
Kernel v3.9.1-saucy

Both crash:
1) Connect to net using pppoe over Bluetooth (using my mobile phone modem to connect to Internet)
2) uncheck "Enable Networking"
3) check "Enable Networking"
4) Try connecting to net using "pppoe" again.

On step 4), a Kernel Panic occurs and the screen goes to Black Text screen and everything freezes.
The only option left is to Reboot by pressing the start button on the Laptop/Notebook and keep it pressed for 30+ seconds, nothing else works.

I can safely state that this REGRESSION happened in "Kernel v3.8-rc1-raring" & the last Kernel without this bug is 3.7.10
"Kernel v3.8-rc1-raring" is where this regression was introduced & it is present even in "Kernel v3.9.1-saucy"

I cannot provide any logs as the whole system freezes and nothing responds.

The ball is in your court now. I really hope that this regression is fixed. Lets all make Linux Kernel more robust & bug free.

Changing status to "Confirmed" again.
