This thing about Networks seems to ring bells - wasn't there a kernal upgrade for a network security patch that opened up more security issues and a furthre kernal upgrade done on the same / following day to rectify this?
Can't find reference to it at the moment - I think it was on Linux Weekly News about a month or so ago.

Basically when a machine was turned on it would take a few seconds to initialize the network card link to the switch. Pausing for a few seconds before loading the network drivers solved the issue. I wonder if something has changed in the network driver?
