Bug Description
I have a lenovoE540 laptop with a r8169 wired onboard ethernet. When the computer is started, ethernet works fine for about 20-30 minutes. After that network stops working.
dmesg shows that initially the link is up and stays up:
[ 41.806656] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link up
There are no other networking related messages. Networking starts working again if I disconnect and connect again the cable. After this networking works until computer is shut down.
This is reproducible and happens to me every day. There are also other reports on r8169 issues but I didn't find a matching bug report on launchpad. This happens only to this computer on network, so I doubt it's a DHCP or other network misconfiguration issue.

I updated the bios to latest provided by Lenovo, but the problem persists.

This may also be a NetworkManager issue - i've filed bug #1461015 on nm with a error message in journal.
