This is a problem with the ne2k-pci driver, for which NetworkManager claims:

Feb 3 21:50:36 ubuntu NetworkManager: <information>^Ieth0: Driver 'ne2k-pci' does not support carrier detection. ^IYou must switch to it manually.

A workaround is to not use NetworkManager and let ifupdown deal with the DHCP. This is done by having:

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

lines in /etc/network/interfaces.
