Turns out it wasnt a Linux, skge or kernel version related problem at all. After rebooting about 10 times and swapping network cards in my computer a couple of times today, I tracked it down to the new router/adsl-modem my ISP has supplied me with. It turns off its ethernet port when nothing is connected to it for some reason. Doesnt turn it on again until I reboot it with some network device connected and powered on. This made me draw the wrong conclusions about versions etc earlier, sorry about that.
