   Thanks for responding Henrik. The last time I updated the kernel   
   was back in August. I only have one entry the 70-net... rule   
   in udev, and the device itself hasn't ever changed. I can't say   
   whether dmesg reported some change in the device because of the   
   passage of time.  I have a work-around by issuing (now) two   
   unbind echoes because an ineffective echo only results in   
   an error message.   
      
   My guess is that there is something undefined in the driver and   
   that can change from one bootup to the next.
