Download the latest Surface Pro 3 dockingstation ( usb\vid_045e&pid_07c6&rev_3000 )
Ethernet driver with INTERNET EXPLORER from:
catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=Microsoft%20-%20LAN%20-%20Surface%20Ethernet%20Adapter
or go to catalog.update.microsoft.com/ and search for "Microsoft - LAN - Surface Ethernet Adapter".
Make sure that you use the driver for your platform (32bit or 64bit). The driver is downloaded to a DIRECTORY.
I used version 8.18.303.2015 for 64bit.
Remove your Surface Pro 3 from your docking station.
Open the Device manager (right click on the start button and select Device manager).
Go to View. Select "Show hidden devices". Select "Network adapters". Select "Surface Ethernet Adapter". Select uninstall. Reboot. Leave your Surface Pro 3 outside the docking station.
Locate your downloaded driver DIRECTORY. Open a command prompt (windows key+R. Type cmd and hit enter) and go to this directory (cd path-to-the-driver-directory).
Execute the following command:
expand the-name.cab -F:* x
cd x
pnputil -i -a msu30x64w8.inf
Shutdown your Surface Pro 3.
Dock it in your station. Turn it on. Done.
Cheers,

This worked for me as well. As a note, it was not necessary to reboot. The default driver installed by Win 10 was 8.14, the driver at the above linked site was 8.18. I simply downloaded the driver, updated via device manager, problem fixed. No reboot necessary.
