It is perhaps worth mentioning that there are only two patches to r8169
in this time frame:
commit 1bcf165ac6556dc55a596d524b8187d1ba7a8c7d
Author: Zhu Yanjun <yanjun....@oracle.com>

commit 6fa1ba61520576cf1346c4ff09a056f2950cb3bf
Author: Philippe Reynes <trem...@gmail.com>

net: realtek: r8169: use new api ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings
The ethtool api {get|set}_settings is deprecated.
We move this driver to new api {get|set}_link_ksettings.
As I don't have the hardware, I'd be very pleased if
someone may test this patch.

The difficulty of reproducing indicates it may be a timing-related issue, and
the failure to negotiate a link suggests that the second patch may also be
involved.
