Please note that if a build has an issue installing 100%, then the
reporter should not proceed with a test.

I thought that I observed a totally successful install of the 4.5 kernel
image and headers yesterday but I missed seeing that the make of bcmwl
failed to make even though the installation was successful according to
the final state of the repository:

ii  linux-headers-4.5.0-040500              4.5.0-040500.20160314013 all                      Header files related to Linux kernel version 4.5.0
ii  linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic      4.5.0-040500.20160314013 amd64                    Linux kernel headers for version 4.5.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-4.5.0-040500-generic        4.5.0-040500.20160314013 amd64                    Linux kernel image for version 4.5.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

Logs are attached in a tar.gz file.  Specifically, gcc version
4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 (up-to-date for 14.04.04) flagged the make of bcmwl as
follows:

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic'
Makefile:666: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler

make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic'

It looks like I would need (at least) an upstream `gcc` to match this
kernel.  Who knows what else?  This might be like peeling an onion.

Keep in mind that my work-around described above is solid.  Being a
developer, I understand that the kernel developers need to prioritize
their time and effort.  If the kernel development team would be more
comfortable with my retesting under 16.04 (would make sense!), then I
can wait until this machine is available for an upgrade in, roughly, one
month.

Title:
  In 14.04.04, r8169.ko cannot recover wired Ethernet connection after
  resume from suspend

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Whenever my laptop suspends (desirable) and then resumes, the r8169
  module cannot reconnect the wired Ethernet line.  This is consistent.
  I can see network_manager trying over and over to get a reconnection.

  WORKAROUND: After resume:
  sudo rmmod r8169
  sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname --kernel-release`/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko
