I solved it by... powering off the machine AND pulling the plug for 30 seconds, and then booting it back up again.
The only thing I can suggest is that maybe the NVIDIA Chipset Driver install in Linux did something to the hardware (with its integrated Ethernet) that required a full power-down and restart cycle to clear up. Who knows.
I'll add some keywords here so google will pick this up and maybe other people will find it if they have the same problem:
Ubuntu, Linux, Ethernet, Nvidia, Chipset, Driver, no Ethernet, troubleshooting, diagnostic, ifconfig, Windows 7, Asus, Eee box, EB1501, EB1201
