intermittent ethernet failure

I had this problem when my fit-pc2 arrived, but solved it by not rebooting :), i.e.,
leaving the machine on permanently. But now that the weather is
hot, I don't want to do this and am suspending or turning off
between sessions.

When restoring or booting, about 1 in 3 times the ethernet just fails. /etc/init.d/networking restart says OK, but I can't ping anything outside the machine, not
on my local network or the internet.

Any clues? or ways to restart the ethernet hardware without rebooting?

I'm seeing this too. Check out this thread: http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1301
Using only GV3 seems to have worked for me. I still need to try the other things (max cstate and processor_latency) that were suggested later in the thread with 2.6.31.
