I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and everything was running perfectly until yesterday I chose to run an apt-get upgrade
.
Now the Ethernet is unstable. Pages don't load and it shows the “Internet is Unavailable” error frequently.
The only temporary fix is Disable Networking and then re enable it.

lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Ethernet

P.S.: Please mention in comments about any commands that I need to run so that I can paste it's output here.
network-manager
and its affiliatedlibnm-*
packages that may cause issues. Could you please try to revert to the previous versions withsudo apt-get install libnm-glib-vpn1=1.1.93-0ubuntu4 libnm-glib4=1.1.93-0ubuntu4 libnm-gtk-common=1.1.93-1ubuntu1 libnm-gtk0=1.1.93-1ubuntu1 libnm-util2=1.1.93-0ubuntu4 network-manager-gnome=1.1.93-1ubuntu1 network-manager=1.1.93-0ubuntu4
and see how it goes? If that helps, I'll write an answer that includes how avoid the upgrade of those packages to their newer counterparts.
