Wired ethernet coection not working after suspend on Debian

I have been using Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) for over a year on my laptop. Since the last update the wired Etheet coection is not working after the system resumes from hibeating. Restarting the system fixes the issue. Is there a way to reactivate networking without having to restart the system?

There is a related question (but for wifi) conceing Ubuntu.
