Regarding whether wifi hangs, it's usually takes a while to get going and then disappears. Sunday night i ended up rebooting into the 4.4-79 kernel because the 4.13 just got too ridiculous.
I.e. Wlan off, wlan on no longer worked.


Please check you are using the most recent linux-firmware?

Just in case i haven't answered that it's at 1.169


Several methods, though by far the most common seems to be personal
experience with offsets.

When you don't have that personal experience, the methods are;

1.  using GDB against the .o file,

2.  using binutils objdump to disassemble .o file or vmlinuz,

3.  using GCC to generate assembly listings,

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelDebuggingTricks right down
the end of page for the GDB method.

I have gotten around to that part, yet, as i was busy with the
above, but it seems later versions have issues, too.

However, you're still testing old source code.

Several changes made since are worth testing, please either
cherry-pick the patches or test a 4.14 rc kernel, and without
involving dkms or virtualbox.

Or, if new firmware fixes the problem, go with that instead.

I just managed to patch the 5.1.30 dkms package so i wouldn't need to update to virtualbox-5.2.


Here are the results with the 4.14-rc7 kernel.
As last time i appended what fills my syslog now.
