I have made a strange observation, maybe it helps anyone to find out what the problem is.

I now work on Hardy, since I can't use Intrepid without network. Because otherwise my machine hangs during boot, I use the kernel parameter "acpi=off" (or "acpi=ht"). With these parameters, the network card works fine under Hardy (kernel 2.6.24-21-generic).

BUT... if I remove "acpi=off" and add "nosmp", the same symptoms occur with Hardy (no network, no DHCP, also no network with manual IP config) as reported here for Intrepid. This is reproducible.

I will now make a final test and see if the Intrepid live CD has network if booted with "acpi=off".
