Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
I upgraded from Intrepid to jaunty and ended up with no network. It turned out udev had renamed eth0 to eth1, so my /etc/network/
Removing /etc/udev/
This is the same issue as in bugs 153727, bug 145382 and bug 208103, except that in Jaunty the Via-rhine networking chip is now triggering it, which never happened before. After some discussion in bug 153727 Scott James Remnant said it was always better to file a new bug even if it seemed to match the same behavior as in older bugs, so that's what I'm doing.
lspci -vvv for the ethernet chip:

dmesg section where the card gets initialized:

Full reports were attached in bug 153727 but I could attach them here if anyone cares.
