Wifi drops with Ubuntu version 16.04.2 LTS (hardware enablement turned
on) with kernel versions 4.10.0-27 and 4.10.0-28. It worked OK with
kernel 4.8.0-58. The kernel upgrade was done when prompted by Ubuntu.
The wifi drops when BBC's iplayer or any of the speed test sites
downloads a lot of data.
The wifi configuration as produced by a sudo lshw -C network is:

After the wifi is dropped, the command sudo service network-manager
restart does not turn on the wifi again
