I had the same problem. If the gateway is on a different subnet then you are then you need to add a another gateway to connect to it.
For example: ipaddress: 192.0.0.1 default gateway: 192.1.1.1 Before the route can be added you need to take your base IP and use that is a gateway to the default gateway route add 192.1.1.1 gw 192.0.0.1 Then add your default route route add default 192.1.1.1 You should be ok.

When it came back up, eth0 didn't come up (and spit out the above error). ifconfig eth0 shows that everything looks good, except that it's not up. ifconfig eth0 up gives the same error. So, it appears that it's not an interrupt or module problem.
