Ville Ranki, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e540 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.19). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  r8169 ethernet stops working after a while

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
