Public bug reported:

Occasionally the onboard gigabit Ethernet on this Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
rev 1.0 motherboard doesn't work after suspend. This happens less than
one out of ten times. Over the last several Ubuntu releases, "sudo
ifconfig eth0 down" followed by "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" has always been
enough to re-establish connectivity. A long time ago, I sometimes had to
unload and reload the r8169 module. This was the first time this bug
happened in Ubuntu 15.04.

A similar bug already exists at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/771857 . I am reporting this here
because the last comment there asks for a report via "ubuntu-bug linux".

Right now, as a workaround, I'm installing the r8168-dkms package, which
includes the proprietary Realtek driver.

Here is lspci -v output for this ethernet controller:
