Yep, it looks good. Bottom line is: The bug report should try to
plausibly lay out what the symptoms are and how to reproduce them, if
possible. Better be too verbose than not to mention something which
might turn out important.

Btw, does MacOS recognize your wlan card at all or is it completely
bricked? And does it freeze only after you reboot from Linux?
