I've had problems like this caused by network-manager. It arbitrarily
decides that a working interface doesn't exist and shuts it down. If your
interface gets set to 169.something when you lose connectivity, that's a
sign that this might be what's going on -- you could also check out syslog.
Removing network-manager fixed everything for me.
