Similar problems have been described long before.

   Booting Windows -> Linux, worked.
   Booting Linux from scratch, did not work.

The reason was the Linux driver, developed by reverse engineering 
probably, did not initialize the network hardware properly, they did not 
know something that had to be done.

After they knew this, the developer wrote something else to the driver, 
and it worked.

In your case, Windows leaves the eth hardware in a state the Linux 
driver can not handle. Open a bug with the Ubuntu people, somehow.
