Thanks very much. That is precisely what is happening.  I'll work around it 
for now.  ;-)
  ((Strange though))

I find depending on the moon phase sometimes on board Ethernet (ETH0) works

Any who, it is what it is!

Has Beagleboard Black been electrically tested yet for robustness?   :-))
  ((it's a Redundant question, don't answer that))
