But it would have been helpful if you had shared more information (think NIC model, NIC chipset, kernel module in use for that chipset).
Why? It's quite clear that this is a hardware failure. I tested a live CD and PXE booting on it with the same problem before buying the new card. I also tested the system disk fine in another machine. It's got nothing to do with the system, although it happened right after the update/reboot.
So, other than replacing the mobo, it *is* the solution. Mobo might be going haywire next as well, but currently it's absolutely stable. And I have a backup now in case it wants to go ...
