I can confirm the same issue here. System installed with Kubuntu Flight5 and dist-upraded today. Wireless card is a SMC2532W-B (Prism II).

Adding hostap and hostap_cs to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist allows the system to boot up without stalling.

The interface is still not automatically setup. Also the second interface (wlan0_ifrename) then disappears.

When trying to enable the interface in 'System Settings' > 'Network Settings' the interface appears to enable and then disable immediately.

Configuring the interface with dhclient from the command line works as expected.

Hope this helps a little.
