Can we discount the time of day factor?

We expect that for wlan0 because neither auto nor allow-hotplug is used
with it. But . . .

At the very least the second line should read
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
The eth0 interface is not being activated. There is no chance of getting
an address via dhcp or statically. Could this be a driver problem?

The 82567LM appears to be supported in the kernel by the e1000 module.
Is it on the system?
locate e1000
Is it loaded on booting?
lsmod | grep e1000
Anyone else on the Net with the same machine as you and having no problem with
eth0?
