Thanks for the help.

Here are the lspci -n and ethtool -e outputs. I am attaching both the
results for the 'bad' unit and for another one which is supposedly
identical except for some battery charge circuitry.

The eeprom data on the bad one may be a little odd due to my trying to
make it match that of the good one, including that I forgot what the
real MAC address was supposed to be.

I can get one that I haven't screwed up if you need it, but it will
probably take all day.
