  Two possibilities:

  One: Device name. Maybe the interface isn't "eth0" anymore, because of the hardware change. This seems improbable to me, because you said the interface was up and in the routing table. I *have* seen a system come up with only one network card, and with it being named "eth1", don't know what causes that.

  Two: MAC addresses. These will have changed with the hardware. Does your network have a MAC whitelist or filter somewhere? Is there a local config file that depends on the MAC address being right, e.g. to assign device names to interfaces? Does your firewall do MAC filtering?

  That's all I can think of.
