Hi I'm using Intrepid Ibex and I ran into this issue with my Asus laptop having 
a SiS191 Gigabit Ethernet card.
I installed the kernel from Jaunty which solved the issue for me. Kernel 
version 2.6.28-8 to be precise. It needs a few dependencies (eg: 
wireless-crda), I'll try to look which ones you'll need exactly.

Even then there's still a bug in the sis190 driver itself, it needs a 
workaround to work properly by setting the MTU to 1024. Don't know exactly why 
but it works for me.
Something like: sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1024 up

P.S. Incidently, the new kernel also fixed my Atheros wireless card
connection.

You can get all necessary packages here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/li...6.28-8-generic

The MTU workaround can be set automatically upon connection by
NetworkManager by adding a script to /etc/network/if-up/
