The coredump logs BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference @0000000000000048 IP: [<ffffffffc0786647>] rtl_lps_leave+0x17/0x50 [rtlwifi] PGD 0 Ooops: 0000 [#1] SMP This is followed by the Modules linked in, Hardware info, Stack trace. At the end of the trace it says: Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt. I uploaded a console screenshot here: IMG_20170222_230239.jpg and I didn't find anything suspicious in syslog or kernel log, most probably because the kernel panics almost instantly after plugging the usb adapter in. Updating to linux-image-4.8.0-39-generic does not solve the issue as well. Only way to work around the issue is to select the 4.8.0-37 image from the grub bootmenu. The problem is not related to a specific USB port.
