I don't know if this is related, but I lost all net connectivity on
one of my ethernet connected machines today when I upgraded to 2.0.
It turned out that the difference was that the machine had
NETMASK="255.255.0.0" instead of NETMASK="255.255.255.0".  When I
changed this in /etc/init.d/network, the problem went away.
