Bug Description
Every morning I boot my two systems: one Dell Vostro 200 running 32-bit Jaunty, the other an Acer Extensa running Windows XP Professional SP3. The Extensa and the Vostro are both wired to the same consumer-grade router, a Belkin F5D8233.
The Extensa gets itself an IP through DHCP and logs onto the domain, no problem. Everything network-y (email, web, network drives etc) works fine.
The Vostro times out. It sends out lots of DHCPDISCOVER packets. Only after numerous manual "sudo /etc/init.
This problem has been with the Vostro since Gutsy (it's been upgraded to Hardy and Intrepid before Jaunty, never is there a fix). IIRC there were some driver issues with Gutsy which were finally resolved in Intrepid (no more manual driver compiling at every kernel upgrade, hurrah).
I've tried Network Manager and wicd, neither fixes the problem. I've stuck with wicd for now, because I want my boss to be able to access network services on the Vostro even when I'm not here.
I'm guessing it's a bug in the e1000e driver. I can't see what else it might be.
Here are some data regarding my setup, hopefully something obvious is wrong. Thanks for reading.

Here is this morning's console output from "sudo /etc/init.d/network restart". It usually takes more than two tries, especially if I'm in a hurry to log in. I've shortened a few of the longer lines by removing whitespace only.
