Live Ubuntu 17.04 session is running OK (mentioned in original report) and it is using:

---------------------------------

So, I did not go in suggested direction of checking upstream kernels...

Instead, I tried manual network configuration though, and it worked (see below). So it is definitely not a kernel problem but network configuration/network connection management problem. Not sure, where this bug has to be reassigned.
