Thanks Andrei, I would appreciate that.

For reference, I have downloaded the latest Raspbian image and I have
no such issue - so I would consider this as ruling out a hardware
issue.

Also, I have noticed the Ethernet activity LEDs go off and on, during
boot, when the interface is started correctly. When I have the issue,
they come on initially but never go off/on again. Maybe an
initialization error?
