Thanks poma, I missed this info when I looked yesterday morning. Its 
looking like I'm going to have to go back to my N pci wireless card that 
is using the ATH9K driver as the rtl8812AU driver you pointed me at on 
git seems to be frequently crashing the kernel (I get frequent kernel 
core abends that can't be reported because the kernel is tainted). It 
may be coincidence but when immediately after the kernel issue the wifi 
interface activates I'm assuming its that driver that caused the issue.
