Had that exact problem on an ASUS A7V880 a while back, it occurrend when we 
booted the MB with a Linux CD.

Even after fixing it (rebooting with the Linux CD and setting the media 
manually), the port would die (stop passing traffic) every few days, even 
with a cron job pinging every second. Best solution is to install a PCI 
NIC; if you truly want to use sk0, write a cron job that will ping an 
outside IP and if that fails restart the interface.
