Kernel Upgrade Breaks Network Connection

My server uses:

[15:48] (tunix@kulupler ~)$ pacman -Qs kernel
local/kernel26 2.6.19.1-1
    The Linux Kernel and modules
local/kernel-headers 2.6.19.1-1
    Kernel headers sanitized for use in userspace

for kernel. The latest kernel upgrade (2.6.19.2-1) breaks network connection after ~5 minutes from the boot. When the network connections fails, kernel says:

Jan 12 15:10:44 kulupler ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

The connection never comes either after a network service restart, nor ifconfig eth0 up/down etc... The only solution is to restart, but after ~5 min. it fails again.

So, as a solution, I just downgraded the kernel to 2.6.19.1-1 again.
