Sorry for the delayed response, this is the first we've heard of this 
happening, and I need to have Amanda look at it, but she's been 
traveling.

If you send the new unique ID (which should just be the MAC address) 
I can give you a new serial number -- but you said the MAC address 
didn't change.

Unless the new firmware reports a bad MAC address until it's 
initialized (total guess), I have no idea what could be going on here.

BTW-My apologies for slow support responses, we lost our first line 
support person to a full time job and until we find a replacement, 
engineering is trying to handle support. (and write code at the same 
time)
