[ale] total server wierdness

A CentOS 6.6 system decided that the network setup was to be ignored. A
single nic that was configured for static IP went bozo and switched itself
into DHCP mode. The configuration was still static IP. It even showed it
was checking for the static IP being in use before it finalized the setup
and reported it was all OK. Then it goes and gets an IP address from itself
since it's the DHCP server.

There are 2 other nic and they had no problems. The problem nic is a 10G
card and the other 2 are motherboard 1G.

It was working without any issues for a year in this configuration. The
last change was to add an Ubuntu 14.04 TFTP bootable kernel to the TFT
server and menu for PXE booting new server configs.

Anyone seen anything like this before?
