Public bug reported: WHen building kernel 4.2.0-36 dkms fails to build (#1487605) This issue also exist on Ubuntu 15.04 (8.0.39) but the version from LTS 14.04 is r8168-8.037.00-1.
A patch for the issue is available that can be easily applied to fix the issue. This is a severe issue as it breaks networking on my Notebook using this kernel. Older kernel version of 4.2.0 did not break the build. DKMS make.log for r8168-8.037.00 for kernel 4.2.0-36-generic (x86_64) Do 2.
