Greetings,

I also experienced this bug (Lenovo P50, worked with 4.2.0-1 kernel, fails with
4.8.0-2 kernel).

I was able to get things working again by downgrading - but I had to go pretty
far.

firmware-iwlwifi 20161130-2 did not work
firmware-iwlwifi 20160824-1 did not work

Downgrading to firmware-iwlwifi 20160110-1, however, worked for me.

In case others following this bug are curious:

wget http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20160224T164321Z/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_20160110-1%7Ebpo8%2B1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i firmware-iwlwifi_20160110-1\~bpo8+1_all.deb
sudo apt-mark hold firmware-iwlwifi

then reboot (or maybe rmmod iwlwifi + modprobe iwlwifi?)

Thanks!
-Carl
