After power cycle on system the line drivers for the network interface
seemed to die, no link connection and no light. This is a mother board
interface and dmesg still shows hardware discovery.
Bought a PCI Express card and installed it. Then modified the mac
address in the /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-xxxx file. Still
no joy. Noticed that the dev name changed so I move the file to match
the new dev name and edited the device name in the file.
Still no joy.

Silly question but are you showing link lights with the PCI card? If you are,
can you move the network connection to a different port on your switch and try
again? Also, while you're there, verify that the lights on the switch are what
you expect.
Cheers,
