In trying to swap a motherboard for the exact same type I kept having issues

70-persistent-net.rules under udev had the mac address of the old nic as eth0
so I moved this file out and rebooted only to see it was recreated as expected
but had the old mac address? I finally edited the mac address and that worked.
Where in the world would it have gotten the old mac from?

Good question, and yes, udev DOES keep track.
check in /etc/udev/rules.d for file names with *persistant* in them.
There are several, and one for -- you guessed it -- network/NIC data.
By removing the persistent file(s), udev will rebuild it with the
correct/current info.
This is how you install on one platform and put that disk into another.:
Remove the udev persistant rules in the post-install.
Good Luck!
