Thank you for that clarification.  OK, I've used 11.0 and did a fresh install, but I'm still having the same issue.  I should clarify that the net installs using 
the same virtual ethernet interface (maybe not the same netfront?) works great for both 10.3 and 11.0 installs.   What is the difference between
the installation kernel and the installed system xn driver?
