I've had the same problem with every 4.8 I tried including the one that is in the brand new Ubuntu 16.10 (4.8.0-22) [via live cd, not installed!]. My computer is a Surface Pro 3 which uses a Marvell chipset in the docking station. I'm pretty sure I have updated to the latest mwifiex in my installed 16.04.
The computer does seem to work, but syslog grows by several lines per second (but now and again it skips a few seconds while it's worrying about a limit and then away it goes again). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626371 Title: cdc_ether fills kernel log Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my Lenovo X1 4th gen with a dock attached: [ 1764.086306] cdc_ether 2-4.1.3:2.0 enx0050b6d331fe: kevent 11 may have been dropped [ 1764.150317] cdc_ether 2-4.1.3:2.0 enx0050b6d331fe: kevent 11 may have been dropped The USB Ethernet device would warn occasionally under the 4.4 kernel.
