Neither was I. I really SHOULD try to learn more about udev. I read
some people have forked Debian Jessie back to SysV init! Yea! It'd
be good to split udev from systemd.
Eureka! It works fine. I caught it with the MAC address set both ways,
udev didn't write a new rule, assigned eth0 to the NIC, networking came
up and I could ping Google both times. One thing I haven't checked, and
no longer have interest in, is what happens if I don't let the BIOS
handle the PnP configuration. I still suspect it's a BIOS bug.
Thanks, Bruce!
