Did this work in the past? When? Does it still happen with the latest
kernel (3.0.0-1) from unstable?
Yes, this worked in the past. Haven't tried the 3.0 kernel yet.
> This has happened several times now, at work where I only have a wired connection. Often the machine has also been used with a wifi connection at home beforehand; don't know if this is always the case.
Is it reproducible every time?
No: on resuming the machine from standby this morning the eth0 interface worked immediately. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.
