I just had it happen to me with the Feisty kernel. Just once, and after using it for quite a while. With the gutsy kernel it stops working within around 10 minutes of booting.

I noticed that when the NIC is detected on boot, it says:
[ 37.723306] eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xffffc2000001c000, 00:13:8f:fc:19:a3, IRQ 17

..but after it has stopped working and I've reloaded the module, it now says:
[ 4638.077249] eth0: RTL8100e at 0xffffc2000001c000, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, IRQ 17

Note that both the model and the MAC has changed. When I had the debugging options enabled, it also told me that the mac_version had changed from 0x0c to 0x0f if that means anything to you.
