At work, do you know if they have 'EDGE' configured on your switch ports(or similar)? I ran into an issue with both sky2 and tg3 with then not wanting to get an IP when EDGE was on. I'd have to try 3,4 times sometimes to get it to work.

Subject: [Bug 135316] Re: Marvell Technology ethernet card not recognized andnot operational

Maybe it's only me and another guy that have the same problem, and it is a faulty ethernet card problem. Here is the reference of this guy:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2008-February/026003.html
But it is very strange.
I'll explain more throughly. I installed debian testing without network in the 1525. After reboot still no network.
Then i downloaded the kernel 2.6.24 from unstable and dpkg -i it in the 1525. I got ethernet working with this kernel!
Then i compiled as module the sk98lin in the 2.6.22 (testing) kernel. Again i got ethernet working with the 2.6.22.
But after this, when i tried to get ethernet with the 2.6.24 again no network with this 2.6.24 kernel!
I was happy with testing, but no sound, no webcam, no suspend and some other problems. Too much work, i got back to ubuntu.
My problem is that i have no wireless at work, so no internet with the laptop. The only difference with the DHCP configuration is that at home i have no proxy, and here (at work) we have a proxy server.
Anyway, thank you.
