Perhaps we have a different issue, but the symptoms appear to be the same.  We 
have a large number of Dell M6800 laptops, with the Intel i217-LM NIC.  They 
behave just as Thomas Gleixner described earlier in this thread.  (If we boot 
them without the ethernet cable attached, then attach the cable, we cannot 
establish a wired connection.)

We have another trigger than shows the same behavior, if the laptop booted with 
an attached a wired connection via a docking station, then undock the laptop, 
and connect a wired connection directly to the laptop's ethernet port, (many 
times but not all), the NIC will enter apparently the same state as if you 
booted without a cable attached. (ethtool shows it is up, but Receive counters 
do not increase, tcpdump shows no traffic, DHCP never finds an address, etc.)

Thank You,
Joshua Anhalt
