Hmm, well that's the same version as woody.  Must be the configuration
that caused my problem. You might try dhclient, I can bring the interface 
up and down any time and not have the problem you're mentioning.  Before 
using dhclient I used dhcpcd, still had no problems bringing the interface
up or down but I seem to remember having more configuring to do, so I went 
with the easier tool.
