If I look at the MAC address of the adapter, it has changed radically from the original MAC. The original MAC continues to be reported by EFI and booting an old kernel gets the correct MAC. Good MAC: 08:00:69:13:E6:3C Bad MAC: 00:00:3C:E6:13:69 (recreated from memory) If I set the MAC using ifconfig, then everything works normally.
