When waking up from suspend, r8169 fails to restart the phy, preventing any form of networking until a complete reboot. This bug was introduced in commit
e80bd76fbf563cc7ed8c9e9f3bbcdf59b0897f69 r8169: work around power-saving bug on some chip versions and could be reproduced with - the latest net-next kernel (5.11.0-rc6) - stable 4.19.0-171 but not with stable 4.19.0-160. The bug occurs regularly when suspending the maschine, but sometimes everything works fine after suspend. However on stable 4.19.0-171 when suspending without any LAN cable plugged in, the kernel does a partial freeze and needs to be restarted by the case switch. dmesg logs at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211659. cat /proc/version: Linux version 5.11.0-rc6-net-next+ (wolf@MX-Linux-Intel) (gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1) #3 SMP Sat Feb 6 20:41:37 CET 2021 hostnamectl | grep "Operating System": Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) lspci -nn: 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller [8086:0100] (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port [8086:0101] (rev 09) 00:02.0 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0102] (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 [8086:1c3a] (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 [8086:1c2d] (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1c20] (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:1c10] (rev b5) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 [8086:1c14] (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 [8086:1c26] (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation H61 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller [8086:1c5c] (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller [8086:1c02] (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus [0c05]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller [8086:1c22] (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
