[Bug 1687623] Re: linux-4.4.0-77.98 was a phased update in -updates only and may become partially installed (was: 4.4.0-77-generic breaks internet on 16.04.2)

[Free Beachler]

What a pain!  I was affected by this issue and lost all network drivers,
wifi and wired.  I had to use another computer with functional
networking to reckon how to enable the grub boot menu; then boot to
kernel v.75; then follow comment #12.

Anybody know who is not affected by this issue, or is everybody
affected?

Is there a fix scheduled or is everybody affected by this issue expected
to realize how to reboot to kernel 75, then apply the workaround in
comment #12?

Bug description:
  Hi as per title today I updated to  4.4.0-77-generic on my Lubuntu
  16.04.02 and wifi is not working anymore. When I click on the network
  manager I see "enable networking" (which is toggled) but no more the
  option about wifi.

  I reported this on ubuntuforum:
  https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360216

  Where a user suggested to revert to an older kernel and see if this
  fixes the problem. I managed to revert to 4.4.0-75-generic via grub
  and everything works perfectly.

  Another user reported a similar issue caused by the same upgrade on
  the same system: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360215

  Can someone else confirm this bug?

  If you need more information I will be happy to provide it (I am a
  newbie though so please be patient).
