Unfortunately, I cannot pinpoint the exact kernel, I went back and tried a 12.04.1 LiveCD and the bug was there so I could be mistaken when it first exhibited. It happened once a few weeks ago a reboot brought it back, then this week eth0 disappeared and has only sporadically returned. What I know for sure is that I installed 12.04 on that box within a week of release and had no problems until recently. I also wonder if this could be a firmware or udev issue, as I was researching this issue, I ran across forum posts reporting similar issues with older kernels in other distros:
