Network link is disconnected

You get a new device that has a 1Gb ethernet card (mine has the I219-LM) and you start getting random network disconnects. Been there and it is frustrating. There are a couple of reasons why this could happen (faulty drivers, faulty hardware, more than 100m from router) but in my case, it was a faulty cable that was easily identified with a ethernet cable continuity checker.
