Having similar problem on: Linux chris-laptop 3.0.0-19-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 5 18:22:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
The wired Ethernet interface seems to fail until the system is rebooted. (The slower wireless interface - which is running in parallel to the same switch - was not affected.) The system log shows the following: Apr 19 18:17:31 chris-laptop kernel: [ 2400.492131] INFO: task python:4151 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
