We have some legacy software running on BB White and BB Black (PCB Rev B6) for a while. Recently we have to build some more and using the Rev C BBB, the network fails to start. We are booting Debian from the same SD card, version 3.8.13-bone67.
Can anyone tell me why the more recent hardware stops the network working? How can I get it going again?
Looking at the revision history on the schematics, the only difference from Rev B to Rev C is the larger eMMC.
Thanks,
James

The following is part of the output of journalctl. It seems to show attempts to connect to the network?
