I ran into this problem yesterday. Tried "ifconfig" and it would fix the problem for the session but the problem would return on. Got back to this problem an hour ago and tried removing the battery and power supply. Problem has been solved.
However I am interested in the fact that so many Ubuntu users are effected by this. Is there perhaps the possibility of Ubuntu causing a change to something at the hardware level? I'm not convinced that faulty hardware is the cause. Running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS. Fully updated.
