Bug Description
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.
The first set of attached log files were generated while the ethernet was working.
The second set are generated on the 5.0 HWE kernel when the ethernet was NOT working.
Note that this is a regression. Ubuntu 16.04 ran on this computer for three years without the ethernet doing this even once.
Unloading and loading the r8169 module will eventually make it work.
