It is a r8168 card. The problem continues to happen with the dkms module
however.

Title:
r8169 ethernet sometimes doesn't work after cold
I finally completed the bisection. An extremely large number of kernels
failed to build. This is the result:
# only skipped commits left to test
# possible first bad commit: [4d6ca227c768b50b05cf183974b40abe444e9d0c] Merge
branch 'for-4.12/asus' into for-linus
# possible first bad commit:
Make sure your unit really is an r8169, and not an r8168.
Whilst (as I understand it) the r8169 module is supposed
to work with an r8168, at least on my laptop (Acer Aspire E17
(E5-722-425Q), currently 18.04 (up-to-date)),
using the r8169 module has resulted in "flakely" behaviour
for as long as
Reloading the module does clear the error for me.
I have never seen the problem where the link comes up but it won't
receive packets.

I've a similar bug occurring on the following kernel versions:
* 5.0.0-23-generic
* 5.0.0-25-generic
* 5.0.0-27-generic
However, quite a few things are different in my case.
As seen in logs, "Link is Down" is quickly followed up by "Link is Up" message,
but interface fails to serve any packets.
I *think* there is better and more pleasant workaround rather than
rebooting every time this bug affects you.
Try putting your computer into suspension, then wake it up.
In most of the cases Ethernet interface fails to start at all. If it does, then
reloading its driver may help it this point:
Seems like you may be right. I could not reproduce it with
1bcf165ac6556d after about 10 attempts. This isn't conclusive
unfortunately. I will continue with a regular bisect.

I think it's unlikely that these two caused the regression.

It is perhaps worth mentioning that there are only two patches to r8169
in this time frame:

I have managed to reproduce this as far back as 2f34c1231bfc9f which is
somewhere between 4.11 and 4.12rc1. I have been unable to reproduce it
with 4.11, but this may just be due to bad luck. I will continue testing
tomorrow.

I am working on this but it is slow as the bug is difficult to
reproduce. It seems to happen more often after cold boots.

Whenever the computer is rebooted there is a roughly 50% chance that the
