This problem has now been essentially resolved. I downloaded the newest
alternate intrepid i386 image, burned it to a CD-rom, and upgraded the
distribution from the CD-rom. After a restart I was able to access the
internet through eth0.
The word "essentially" above means the following: There is still
something strange going on in the connection: The first time that the
dhcp negotiation is finished and suppose to be activated the kernel
still resets the connection, and everything has to start all over again.
However, now the second time succeeds. Before it went into an
indefinite loop.
