actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
The vista boot is not of interest to us in any way.You already clarified
it works in root with networking.

for a quick fix try:

sudo ifup eth0; sleep 5; ifconfig eth0

If this doesnt resolve it, read on.

I have seen this a few times. Make sure you disable all wake on lan
stuff in the BIOS as well as in Vista. The Vista can put a 'lock' on the
hardware and make it not appear (annoying)

If you reboot and log in you can also run:

dmesg | less

and read the device coming up (if it does at all)
