Comment 0 for bug 1841040

Whenever the computer is rebooted there is a roughly 50% chance that the r8169 ethernet cannot negotiate a link. There is no relevant information in dmesg except for the "link down" message. The work around is to just keep rebooting the computer until it eventually works; sometimes this may take up to 7 reboots.
