My experience (limited to 2 machines) is different. Other than having the driver built in (not a module), the only thing my boot script did for networking was run dhcpcd. Oh, there was one that ran hostname first. Perhaps if eth0 was already up, dhcpcd just got a lease for the current IP and nothing else was required. You can try downing eth0 and then running dhcpcd.
