I'm testing with a laptop without a battery. It seems MASKALL remains
set when rebooting or when left plugged in.

From unplugged, a cold boot doesn't have MASKALL set and the network vm boots.

After that, rebooting the laptop leaves MASKALL set on the NIC when
the laptop reboots. NIC assignment fails.

Shutdown and later boot while left plugged in keeps MASKALL set. NIC
assignment fails. I have only tested this scenario for short periods
of time, so I don't know if it would eventually clear after a longer
time.

Regards,
Jason
