No wired LAN connection after updating to kernel 2.6.35.3

I am using integrated Intel(R) PRO/1000 ethernet card, with e1000e driver.
After updating to the new kernel .35, I have lost my LAN connection.
I've seen someone having similiar issue with dhcp(http://is.gd/eC4ck), but my connection is through static IP.
I manage to get back connection by downgrading to .34.
Does anybody with arch have the same problem?
Anyone help, plz.

Use pastebin and post your dmesg?

my problem persists with 2.6.35.5,
so I have to use kernel26-lts to have a fully networked system.

You're obviously on a very different kernel version though. Please start a new thread and include more details about your problem. Obviously not every Arch machine has failing LAN cards.

Re: No wired LAN connection after updating to kernel 2.6.35.3

It works now with the current kernel v2.6.37 and some previous ones.
The issue is resolved now.
