The bug occurs in windows 7 on the same hardware so I am likely to believe
this still indicates a firmware issue...

This bug also affects me, and is highly annoying. I experienced it with
9.04 (i386), 9.10 (i386), and 10.04 (amd64). Some mornings, a single
'sudo dhclient eth0' will immediately work, and some mornings (like this
one) I spend about 10 minutes trying to get on the network.

Vista does not have a problem with the card (I dual boot), and
immediately gets an IP - its a pretty safe bet that the cable / switch /
DHCP server etc are not to blame.

My steps to get on the network in the morning:
 * try 'sudo dhclient eth0' and pray
 * if that fails, 'ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0'
a few times
 * if that fails, 'rmmod e1000e && modprobe e1000e' and repeat ifconfig /
dhclient stuff above
 * if all else fails, unplug the networking cable and plug it back in;
repeat steps above

As I mentioned earlier, I don't always have to do all of these steps; it
is completely random which one will fix it first (and how long it
takes). If I can provide any additional information, please let me know.
