Back online! Finally!
On sunday my network-card seemed to be broken. On Saturday evening everything was working fine, on sunday morning I first noticed that I was no able to open any website and first tried to ping the router, but nothing happened. It didn't take me long to notice that actually nothing was working anymore.
lspci still listed the card, wireshark didn't show any traffic and not even the lights did blink anymore. Changing the cable, or the port of the switch didn't help too.
I also booted from a live-cd, but that didn't change anything.
What solved the problem - finally - was disabling and re-enabling the (onboard) interface in the BIOS-setup. I don't have any idea how that is even possible but... I'm back online!!!
