Any chance this might be a cable problem? Have you tried another one?
I've tried changing cables, sometimes booting with the cable out fixes it after an ifup. The only thing that fixes it consistently, is a kernel reinstall.
OK, so what happens when you re-install the kernel - during the reboot, the network driver module is reloaded. When you see the problem, try stopping the network device (ifdown eth0), then unload and reload the associated module (r8169 or whatever it is). Then start the network device again (ifup eth0).
What would the kernel reinstall do to make eth0 work again.
More importantly, what makes it stop working?

I tried ifdown unload module reload module then ifup and it didn't work. Then I compiled the driver into the kernel and it seemed to fix it and no more problems for a few weeks. I upgraded the kernel last week, without recompiling it and I had no problem until the power fail. That's when I discovered reinstalling the kernel consistently fixes the problem.
