I would agree that everything looks right.What happens if you type
ifup eth0
or in the worst case try and bring it up manually ?
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.6 up
You should get a more specific error message.
The thing is you either have rolled over a weird bug ,there is another
piece of hardware that is being brought-up on the same IRQ,or something
kills the PCMICA controller at a later stage in the boot process.
