I have a network interface on my laptop which was working (don't know when it stopped cause I mainly use WIFI) and now fails to connect. I have NM for network and when I plug the UTP cable (doesn't matter where I do this, it's always the same) I get this on /var/log/messages:

Some googling around suggests that you might have some luck by: 1) Plugging into a different port on your router, or 2) Trying a different cable.Both ends of a CAT cable are not really "identical", and that's why most routers have a single "upstream" or "uplink" ports, where some pins are switcherooed. Adding to the confusion is that some CAT cables might be crossover, rather than straight through. I also have the impression that most hardware, at least GigE, might not really care, and autonegotiate who is what, with its peer, when they connect to each other.
Try plugging the cable into your hub/router's "uplink" or "upstream" port, if it's not connected to anything.
