I did not see a responses so I thought I would throw this out:  I had much
the same trouble with, I think, an old Intel EtherExpress 16 bit card in a
new Dell server.  It drove me crazy because it would be fine, I'd walk away
and 30 minutes later I couldn't contact the box.  

What's worked well is replacing the old, Intel ISA card with a new, HP
VG100 PCI card.  This changed everything (ISA to PCI, different port on a
different hub, different driver, etc.).  Don't know which change fixed the
problem.  So my advice would be to replace the NIC with a different model
(and, ideally, try a different cable and hub) and use netconfig (?) to set
up the network again.  You might also post this to comp.os.linux.hardware
and c.o.l.networking.  Good luck.
