Faulty hardware maybe? Try a reboot and see if it reappears. If it's located on a card try reseating the card (although I suspect this is an integrated NIC on the motherboard?).
The chipset is not necessarily the same in the second example (different revision); RTL8111/8168B is not RTL8168d/8111d. They probably do use the same driver but I'd need to see the Vendor:Device ID pairing to know for sure.
Eth1 is an xpci card sold by StarTech. A system with an identical card reports this:
OK, I'd definitely try reseating the card and if you still get no joy I'd swap it out for a replacement.
for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done
I swapped the suspect card and rebooted the host. After some fussing about with udev I managed to get the new card recognized as eth1 (vice eth2 as udev kept insisting).
I will do a transfer test later today and see if it stays up. The original failed in the midst of an sftp transfer.
