Comment 28 for bug 1667750

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 17.04 (fresh install), I can confirm that this bug also affects the (now) current release and therefore kernel version 4.10.0-19-generic.

I also now implemented an other "workaround" and bought an 7€ USB3->1Gb Ethernet dongle, this works without issues.
