sami, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=N56VZ&os=30 an update to your BIOS is available (217). 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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

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

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Asus N56VZ] Atheros ALX driver : no more interface statistics

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This bug is a regression between 3.8 and 3.11 kernel.
  Since the new 3.11 kernel, there is no more network statistics on ALX cards.

  This has already been discussed here : http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/278595
  But it seems not to be fixed.

  My card is an Atheros AR8161

  Here is an output of ifconfig:
            RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
            TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

  gnome system monitor is also affected
