With 2.6.8 you have:

With 2.6.18, on the other hand:

I would therefore try booting the 2.6.18 kernel with "acpi=off" and/or
"pci=routeirq" appended to the kernel parameters.
If that does not fix the problem then it is maybe related to your IPv6
over IPv4 setup. I do not have much experience with that, but an obvious
difference between the two kernels is that you do not see an IPv4
address listed anymore if you use the 2.6.18 kernel:

while you still have both IPv4 and IPv6 with 2.6.8:

Are you sure that your DHCP server and router support IPv6?
