Has anyone else seen this?

I turned my i7 machine off last night, because the fileserver to which it was connected had let the magic smoke out of its power supply.

When I turned it back on, it didn't appear on the network. Cursing and attaching a monitor and keyboard, I found that the network hardware was not detected at all; there was no eth0 (whether running the installed ubuntu-8.10 or booting from an Ubuntu install disc), there was no sign of an Ethernet controller in the output of lspci, there were no messages about Ethernet in dmesg. I checked that ethernet wasn't disabled in the BIOS.

This morning the machine didn't boot at all, so I am tempted to send the motherboard back to the shop ...

The code was willing,
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak.

Haven't seen this with an ethernet controller recently, but in one of our office machines, the SAS controller died during a power outage. That was the machine that was supposed to have the 3,527- matrix finished by now...
