Q: TB -> Gb Ethernet not recognized after waking from sleep (rMBP)

After installing Mavericks, when ever the computer wakes from sleep it doesn't recognize the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

 

In my use case, when I wake my computer up from taping on the keyboard, I log in and reload a Safari tab. Safari complains it doesn't have a network connection. I have to remove and reinsert the TB -> Gb adapter to get a network connection again. I've given it time (about 4-5 minutes) to get it's connection back.

 

The computer I'm having this issue on:

 

MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013

Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB / NVidia 650M

Software  OS X 10.9

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    It seems as if the 10.9.2 update fixed this issue.  I just installed the new version of Mavericks last night and shortly after awakening from sleep mode the Thunderbolt adapter initialized without needing to remove and replug.

    I booted up my rMBP off battery, let it idle for a while, then put it to sleep.

     

    Came back to it approx 30 mins later, and the network still working.

     

    Looks promising - but want to try letting it sleep overnight to ensure a longer sleep still works!
