Just for those following this email, I installed the Fedora Beta LXDE image on a RPI-3+, copied/modified the .dtb file, and booted with no issues on boot. Used a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to run "dnf update", which caused the onboard ethernet to start working. No trouble found so far. Will keep updated as I continue to mess with this...

That kernel did fix the "mac address changes every reboot" for me.
And yes, the ethernet port does still work.  ;)
Thanks!

And the ethernet port LEDS ... I seem to have a flashing amber
activity LED, and the green LED is off.
