Why don't you try that? Yours could read something like this:

If you confirm that issue in your machine, this could handle the
zeroing of the first four octets.
Now I'm going to get the VIA systems out again and see if your
suggestion will make the problem go away! At the end of the day,
that's what I want.
Not mine, Bruce's one!
So it was!
I wasn't even aware that you can set matching patterns in udev rules!
So I take something new for me too... ;-)
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.
That's called eudev.
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!
You are welcome.
