Can you give more details about where it stops?

.. again, please give the full oops, without that we just know that "an 
oops happened".

I assume it's related to the oops above - the oops probably happened while 
holding some mutex or other lock, which is why network-related stuff then 
blocks on that lock (which will never be released, since the oops killed 
the process that held it).

I suspect the oops is also why the bootup breaks, so it's likely all the 
same issue. Please save the dmesg into a file, reboot into a working 
setup, and send that. Along with hw information (it's likely related to 
your network device driver, since I've not seen an uproar of these kinds 
of problems from everybody else..).

More details, please, again.
