Public bug reported:

I have number of SUN x86-based  servers with Intel Ethenet controllers.
Both igb and e1000 drivers are used. All servers have strange issue:
after fresh Ubuntu 16.04 installation all ethernet links are in down
state even if cables are plugged in.

At the network switch side links are in up state!

If i try to manually up the link via ip link tool, all works fine. When
i try to manually assign an IP address to "dead" interface it brings
up... After reboot all links are down again.

Any suggestion?
