Not certain, but *overnight* to me leads to thoughts of a daily cron job resetting eth0. I presume that your daily cron jobs start at about 6:25 am (a Debian default, iirc) - anything in your logs around then referring to it? A possibility is that something is supposed to do a quick recycle - say, obtain a new dhcp lease, and is failing at that time (such as requesting just at the time that the network's dhcp server is for some reason unavailable - maybe recycling, or its ethernet card is recycled.) -- Mark L.
