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).
