I recommending switch from 4.2 to 4.3 STABLE (or even current) anyway because problem may be in 802.11 code instead, if it is fixed at all.

So, upgrading from 4.3-release to either 4.3-stable or 4.3-current in this case will not change the behaviour seen in 4.3-release.
Well, there are also no visible changes in if_rum* driver files for panic I had experience with, more likely it can be usb code problem or fix was never documented.
