I see the same issue, and I even tried the git bisect, but due to
various issues in early boot / ACPI code in that merge window it's
impossible to finish it. The ugly workaround for me is to always keep
a ping running in the background, which keeps it from dropping the
connection. Fortunately the BUGs only happen very rarely for me (and
unfortunately I'm not able to capture them, but I suspect it's iwlagn)
