Very unlikely but you don't provide enough information to even guess.
I've seen similar behaviours before and they usually indicate a bug in
the driver that crashed. Eg the setup code for a network card not being
able to cope if the network card is in a particular state but does
enough that next boot it works.
You need to work back from your wireless driver panic to the root cause
of that panic and then back from there.
