Are you using an onboard NIC? Is it a Marvell chipset? I've noticed a
couple weird things like this with very particular Marvell chips.
(instance where things would looks correct and it wouldn't necessarily
report problems, but it would not get a gateway or wouldn't pick up an
IP from DHCP.)
My solution was to toss in a PCI NIC and update the kernel. If that
didn't fix it, I downloaded and installed the actual NIC module from
Marvell.

This system is a Dell Precision 450 w/ an Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper). lspci says it's on 03:0e.0 for what it's worth.
Subbing NIC is worth a try to learn something :)
