Were you running a 2.6.27 pre-release kernel? Everyone should read this as there about 12 NICs that could be rendered useless especially in a chipset integrated NIC.
"If you have an Intel PCI Express add-on card or integrated NIC, avoid the Ubuntu 8.10 alphas, OpenSUSE 11.1 beta, SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 beta, Fedora Rawhide or for that matter, any distribution that comes with a 2.6.27 pre-release kernel." So says the following arstechnica article. http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/638006184931/i...
i am no firmware expert, but i would think if you can find an identical machine, you should be able to use the following command from the article to backup good firmware, then use ethtool -E to restore the good firmware over your bad firmware. sudo ethtool -e ethX > savemyeep.txt
