Looks like you're not getting actual link - is the link up?
sudo mii-tool eth0
should see:
eth0: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok
Should also see blinky lights on the nic.
Do you use a dock with it? They sometimes switch between dock and build-in causing one or the other not to work or link, even sometimes getting stuck, but that's usually a driver/os thing.
-mb
Good call, this can be hard coded in the /etc/network/interfaces as in my post.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Latitude D620. I didn't expect any

Ethernet or wifi to work.
lspci shows the correct hardware
Ethernet controller; Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigibit
Ethernet PCI Express (rev 2)
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
I went into Network Connections and added a Wired connection and gave it
a name and selected the MAc address for eth0 (in the drop down list),
and selected automatic (DHCP) as the method for iP4
I looked at /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
so I tried adding
auto eth0
but no luck. grep -i eth /var/log/syslog gives

kernel: [1815.449321] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
I looked at some forum posts on how to fix this, and the best I found
was to edit NetworkManager.conf and set managed=true (it came false out
of the box). That did not help.
Thanks for any other suggestions you may have!
