hm, does your kernel have CONFIG_PM defined?  if it happens again please include lspci -vvv before and after ethtool -r (see below)

this indicates the device was actually receiving packets okay (RDH) and the
driver was returning buffers to hardware (RDT)

device was also claiming successfully transmitting, so I don't know why 
the DHCP packets don't work, can you tcpdump on the network or the dhcp 
server by chance?  I'm looking to see if the server receives the transmits 
and then replies.

after resume, one multicast address is added and one is missing from the 
list of addresses the adapter will listen on.  I reordered but here are 
the diffs
before:
	RAL[5]         00000000
	RAH[5]         00000000
after
	RAL[5]         005e0001
	RAH[5]         8000fb00

I don't know which protocol added 01005e00fb as a multicast address only 
after suspend.

can you ifconfig eth0 promisc before doing suspend?  I'd be curious if 
that fixed it.

FACTPS bits are reserved in our manuals (but have to do with PCIe power state
changes), but I can't help but wonder if there isn't something with ASPM L0s or
L1 on your system (where we had trouble with that feature on your laptop) when
coming out of resume, therefore the lspci would show us the difference if there
was one.
