Even further experimentation shows that ethernet functionality can
survive the resume for a few minutes before reseting. Once it gets
into this state even rmmod/modprobing the r8169 driver won't unwedge
the driver.

The symptoms are either the driver detecting an unknown MAC or setting
the physical address to 0xfffffffff which is obviously broken. I
suspect the hardware has gotten itself wedged somehow.

Is there any way to hard reset the chipset (without power cycling the
system)?
