I'm not particularly surprised, in both cases the "stable" MAC is
generated based on information in the SoC and I believe the algorithm
did change for some reason. Is it stable on that address between
reboots of Fedora?

Under Fedora 25, it appeared that the mac address changed when the hostname changed (like during the first boot wizard).

Under Fedora 26, I didn't notice this behavior so all I can say is that the reported mac address is stable across reboots, but may not be stable across other changes. (not convinced yet, at least).

Is the firewall blocking? What does "iptables -L" show?

<snip>

One of the first things I did when troubleshooting was to stop and disable firewalld with systemctl.

Currently iptables -L reports:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Thanks for your time.
