Comment 7 for bug 1547838

Note if I plug in the device but don't send traffic over it, the system manages to remain running for longer. I brought the interface up with a static IP and the system remained up for well over 5 minutes before it died. I was monitoring ifconfig and it had around 30 Rx packets and 300 Tx packets. I'm not sure what caused that, since it was static and no traffic should have been going out. With DHCP, pings, etc. going over the interface it kills the machine much quicker (all the previous crashes involved me sending data over the link, mostly just pings and whatever DHCP sends).
