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.
