Well, alright, I tested kernel 4.4.0-72. Didn't really work for me. It's actually not really helping, because with it Unity is broken, not all icons are loading (workspace switcher is gone), no mouse at all. Something utterly wrong with USB support. At least the system doesn't freeze, so I could recover by switching to a virtual console.
Enabling Xenial proposed didn't really help with the package management either. Got a red alert symbol from the update manager. I had to revert everything, actually took two reboots with 4.4.0-62 until the network was working again. Now I'm back on 4.4.0-62 with Xenial proposed diabled and it will stay that way.

What is wrong with Ubuntu? This is the first time I have had such issues ever and I have been using Ubuntu version 7.10

I will have to check whether Raspbian is also affected by this bug. The reason is: I am using Edimax EW-7811Un (RTL8188 chipset) on several Rasperry Pi computers.
Sorry, but I really do not understand how such things can happen.
