suspending and resuming a lot, it happens once to me, that the network
device did not come back correctly.

I experienced this problem (only) three times until now. If I remember
correctly the last time with 3.2.1. I still do not know how to reproduce
this.

The work around is to unplug and replug the network cable or to unload
the module and load it again.

[...]

Some of the RTL81xx gigabit Ethernet controllers need a firmware patch
to be reliable.  I can't tell whether you have one of these.  Are there
any kernel log messages about requesting a firmware file for the NIC?
If so, does installing firmware-realtek fix the problem?

There are no Linux messages requesting the firmware.

OK.

quoted

And not being able
to trigger I probably just have to wait that it happens again. Can I
increase some log level to capture more information next time? Or since
this could be a firmware bug Linux cannot do anything about this?

No, it's probably something that can be fixed in the driver.

That sounds promising. It would be great if this could be fixed. Please
tell me how I can get you better debugging information next time this
happens.

Right, this variant doesn't need a firmware patch.

Please can you re-send your bug report to:

[…]

Be sure to include the log messages from your second mail.

Please find the messages from the Linux kernel ring buffer (`dmesg`)
attached at the end.


Thanks,
