I just switched out the ethernet cable and have the same problem.

Could it be the NIC?  It's a Linksys LNE100TX.  It uses the tulip driver and 
it's listed in /etc/modules.conf

alias eth0 tulip

Here is dmesg output for dmesg | grep eth0

divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0
eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0xf88e4000, 00:04:5A:7F:D0:D0, IRQ 11.
