WiFi problem with 4.13.0-26 generic:

I believe this bug is bigger than just x11 display issue the described
by Ulli.

Using ISOs for Xubuntu 16.04.2 and 16.04.3, I experienced a *no WiFi
network* issue. To install, I first ran in "try ubuntu" mode from
optical media. At this point, I had functional WiFi. After rebooting, I
had none. Evidently, updating the kernel during install caused the
problem! After reboot, I found that, if, during boot, I dropped back
from 4.13.0-26 generic to 4.10.0-28-generic, WiFi networking magically
appeared. I only found this kludgy work-around by accident, having spent
several hours checking on drivers, etc. FWIW, this was on a Lenovo X1
Carbon Gen 4 laptop with Intel WiFI; as I said, the correct drivers were
present.

If 4.13.0-26 is bad, it should be fixed or withdrawn and the update path
should be fixed. One should not encounter a bad kernel during
installation!
