... however as of today, I have no network connection

[dwright@debian dwright]$ sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth2
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:54:13:be:fb

Firstly, were you using eth2 before?
The thing that looks glaringly wrong to me in your ifconfig output is
that you haven't actually got an IPv4 address configured there. That
could happen if your configuration is for eth0 or eth1 and the interface
has been renumbered by udev. (I've had this happen to me before, not on
Debian though.)
Try configuring the interface manually and see if the world reappears:
ifconfig eth2 your_ip_address netmask your_netmask up
route add default gw ip_of_your_gateway
Just strikes me as odd that you've got an eth2 if you've only got 2
cards - they'd normally come up as eth0 and eth1 but then I'd believe
any weirdness when udev is involved.
If you're only using IPv6, please ignore this ;-)
Cheers
