Wireless LAN device seems to disappear from my laptop PC

I am using my laptop PC (Panasonic CF-N9) with MATE desktop environment based on Debian Jessie, and the network connection is managed by Network Manager software. Recently, the Network Manager started to ignore the wireless LAN device and the wireless LAN connection became unavailable. Here is the snipped kernel log. I guess this is telling me what had happened behind the scene. Once this log was generated, the wireless LAN device seems to disappear during the PCI device detection process of the kernel. Has the wireless LAN device within this PC broken?
