Title:
  r8169 occasionally doesn't work after suspend

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Occasionally the onboard gigabit Ethernet on this Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
  rev 1.0 motherboard doesn't work after suspend. This happens less than
  one out of ten times. Over the last several Ubuntu releases, "sudo
  ifconfig eth0 down" followed by "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" has always
  been enough to re-establish connectivity. A long time ago, I sometimes
  had to unload and reload the r8169 module. This was the first time
  this bug happened in Ubuntu 15.04.

  A similar bug already exists at
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/771857 . I am reporting this
  here because the last comment there asks for a report via "ubuntu-bug
  linux".

  Right now, as a workaround, I'm installing the r8168-dkms package,
  which includes the proprietary Realtek driver.

  Here is lspci -v output for this ethernet controller:
