Unfortunately I'm still able to reproduce this problem in 2.6.33. However, when my ethernet interface crapped out nothing was logged to /var/log/messages. Doing an ifdown and then ifup did not restore the interface, it was unable to get a lease from the DHCP server (all other machines on the network were fine). So, same end result, although I don't have the evidence to suggest that the symptoms are the same....
