[Bug 1459985] [NEW] r8169 ethernet stops working after a while

 

Public bug reported:

I have a lenovoE540  laptop with a r8169 wired onboard ethernet. When
the computer is started, ethernet works fine for about 20-30 minutes.
After that network stops working.

dmesg shows that initially the link is up and stays up:

[   41.806656] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link up

There are no other networking related messages. Networking starts
working again if I disconnect and connect again the cable. After this
networking works until computer is shut down.

This is reproducible and happens to me every day. There are also other
reports on r8169 issues but I didn't find a matching bug report on
launchpad. This happens only to this computer on network, so I doubt
it's a DHCP or other network misconfiguration issue.
