I looked over all the existing reports of this. It's a bit of a mess.
It seems to affect multiple drivers.
A big problem is that the network stack seems to get in a really screwed up state
when this happens, and the automated bug filer files these corrupted traces.

A secondary problem is that because these are automated reports, not all users
are responsive to answer questions afterwards...

Anyway, what I've gathered so far..

3.4-rc	i2400m_usb      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807114

unknown (mangled traces) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841016

possibly e1000e (also mangled) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841769

3.4.4	unknown (mangled)	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849275
 (same guy, probably e1000e)	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849276

3.5.0	r8712u  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845853

3.5.0	unknown https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846991


any ideas on any additional debug printk's we could add ?
