Possibly related issue with Ubuntu 10.4 ...

Using Network Manager or WICD - even with Wake-on-LAN disabled - wired NIC is not powered off after shutdown request - unlike in Ubuntu 8.04 (and even Windows Vista).
  
Workaround is to "sudo ifconfig eth[n] down" prior to "sudo shutdown -h now".  On reboot the NIC is reactivated and reconnects successfully whether using NM or WICD.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621343 - rejected against Network
Manager - not sure where to resubmit it.

P.S. In this case the NIC is Marvell Yukon 88E8056 on a
desktop/wired/server.  Same results with sky2 driver v1.25 and sk98lin
v10.85.8.3, except that with sky2 the device remains active and poisons
the switch.  sk98lin is supposed to eventually replace sky2, so no bug
report for that yet.
