Thanks for the reply. The problem is continuing to show up, but
irregularly and often only after the machine has been booted for a
long time (with s2ram, but I don't think I've used s2ram on every
occasion).

I'm using iptables. Ah, yes - it started dropping packets around
the time I last had a problem:
May 27 00:48:26 ac4tv dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.7.254
port 67
May 27 00:48:27 ac4tv dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.7.254
May 27 00:48:27 ac4tv dhclient: bound to 192.168.7.152 -- renewal in
1787 seconds.
That address came from my router, and I had been getting the same
address for an hour, tbut then the dropped packet messages start
appearing - they are for a different address, one that would have
been offered by my server:
May 27 00:53:16 ac4tv kernel: [31922.316798] IPTABLES Packet

and those continued until I forced a reboot.

I don't have ethtool installed, and that ip command appears ok at
the moment:

That doesn't seem very practical when the machine is ok for a couple
of days at a time.
