Well, maybe mine had healed itself through self will.
I jumpered it to a had coded address, irq, etc. There
were two choices on my card. Then I fired up a copy
the SMC DIAGNOSE program that I had downloaded. It found
the card at the hard coded address.

I then powered off, and changed the jumper back to soft.
Then DIAGNOSE found the card at the old addresses that
I had programmed in last year.

I have not reinstalled into the network, so I can't
swear this worked, but it did read the correct
ethernet address out!
