Bringing up interface eth0:  
Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present.  Check cable?
                                                           [FAILED]

the cable is fine, tried other ones as well
the two status lights next to the ethernet are always continuously on, doesnt matter whether a cable is connected or not.

Please post output of the command 'lspci -vvvnn' when running the old and new kernels (as separate plain-text attachments, not inline.) You will need to run the commands as root to get all of the information.

spontaneous self-healing process: suddenly after some days it's working again. I would say I didn't changed/tried anything which could have fixed it.
Anyhow, thank you very much for your help!
