Damn, I was hoping you'd have found a workaround for this by now. It is
quite severe though!

My quick research turned up a few results ([1],[2],[3]) for similar bug
with other setups, however there are rather old and not met with a fix.
But yeah, this machine has some undeniable defects, a faulty BIOS made
me RMA it just after its purchase.

I was also hit by the rtsx driver bug
(https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37720) and was delighted with its fast
resolution. I was hoping that its fix would also address the
disappearing Ethernet bug.

There is a ticket in kernel bugzilla [4] that involves r8169 and
suspend/resume or rather hibernate/resume. This bug involves kernels
prior to 3.12, but I can't tell if it is really related.

3.12.x is the first and only kernel I tried on this machine (well I do
have Debian 7 in dual boot but I haven't used it since I installed it).

Would it help if I'd try another distribution with older kernel? If so,
would doing it from LiveUSB be a valid way?
