This change was made by a bot.

To be clear:

My ethernet worked, and then I did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, rebooted, and ethernet no longer worked.

[Andrew Kelley (andrewrk)]

I'm so sorry, this bug is invalid.

My computer was up for 46 days, and it just so happened that at the exact moment I decided to finally reboot into a newer kernel, the network switch that my computer is plugged into went into an invalid state for the first time ever.

So the issue was that I had to reset the switch, not anything with the linux kernel.
