The one thing I see like this is the nic array has been redefined by new
hardware / and the failures all have network in them.  I've been down
the configuration road to remove the old hardware references and
preserve (config) the new.  I must have done it wrong...

NIC remains an open topic and tomorrow (after the rest part) I'll
revisit routing stuff:-(

Thanks for reaffirming the hard-wired thing.
It's great to hear of your success doing something similar.

Warmest regards from here,
