I'm not sure if this is due to upgrading to 2.6.18-4, but 'eth0' stopped
working recently on my SS5. I did a bit of digging in /sys and noticed:

When I renamed 'eth0' to 'eth0_rename' in /etc/network/interfaces, it
worked! Any idea what's going on here?
Also, I can't install 2.6.18-3 as yaird is failing:

Other than that, I've had no problems.
