Back to INTx. r8169: eth0: link down Then restart the network and check again with dmesg. In my case, my machine freezes for no apparent reason. 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) I have blacklisted r8169 module and still freezes :( It might be a hardware issue or in case the network went down and then came back up?
