I would agree that everything looks right.What happens if you type ifup eth0 or in the worst case try and bring it up manually ? ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.6 up You should get a more specific error message. The thing is you either have rolled over a weird bug ,there is another piece of hardware that is being brought-up on the same IRQ,or something kills the PCMICA controller at a later stage in the boot process.
