Description:
After updating to kernel 4.10.8, the (wired) network connection drops when waking from suspend, and attempting to kill dhcpcd after the drop freezes the system. I noticed that it is enough to take the wired interface up and down twice in a row to experience the freeze.

The problem is fixed by recompiling r8168 with linux-headers-4.10.8.


Additional info:
* package version(s): r8168-8.044.02-5, linux-4.10.8-1
* hardware: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0a)


Steps to reproduce: (as root, replace 'enp4s0f2' by the appropriate interface name)

ip link set enp4s0f2 up
ip link set enp4s0f2 down
ip link set enp4s0f2 up
ip link set enp4s0f2 down
This task depends upon
