I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if the interface is configured
(and NetworkManager is stopped), I can do 'ip link set eth0 down' and
then 'ip link set eth0 up', and the interface is fully functional.

I added a dev_info() to rtl8169_resume(). First with NetworkManager
active (i.e. interface down on suspend):

[  525.956675] r8169 0000:03:00.2: RxConfig after resume: 0x0002400f

Then I re-tried with NetworkManager stopped (i.e. interface up on
suspend). Same result:

[  785.413887] r8169 0000:03:00.2: RxConfig after resume: 0x0002400f

I hope that's what you were asking for...
