You may try a different Linux distros and see if that helps. I had a similar problem with my on board Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. When I boot into certain versions of Linux and then reboot to the next OS (XP or Linux), the next will have problem with networking. I have to shut down the computer and switch off the power totally (so that the backup 5V is off) and then the thing will be ok.
