9c-eb-e8-3c-52-cc is the mac address of the USB C Network adapter. Apologies that I hadn't already made this clear on this thread.
I'd already looked into the mac address pass-through issue before opening this case. At the time, upgrading the BIOS from 1.2.10 to 1.2.14 didn't work. While running MAAS 2.0, BIOS version 1.2.10 worked fine. There was a BIOS update (1.2.16) released by Dell on the 1st Dec. This seems to have fixed it! To be sure I tested with BIOS version 1.2.10 and 1.2.14 again, but got the same problem. So it looks like the fix is included with 1.2.16. Now, when I boot up, I immediately see the mac address of the on-board device (not the usb-c)...which allows me to install Ubuntu 16.04.1 from MAAS 2.1 to the Dell Precision 5510. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639202 Title: Cannot enlist/commission machines in MAAS 2.1 with usb network adapter Status in MAAS: Invalid Status in maas-images: New Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrade from MAAS 2.0 to MAAS 2.1: Cannot enlist/commission client machines via network boot (or pre- staging machine) when using usb-c network adapter D59GG (e.g. Precision 5510). This was working ok with MAAS 2.0. Using the Xenial 16.04 base image for enlist/commission (no minimum kernel set). Enlist/Commission/Deploy works fine with other laptop and desktop models which have a built in NIC. From an already deployed Precision 5510 system (16.04.1) I can see the following module is loaded when the usb-c adapter is connected (and working): $ lsmod usbnet 45056 1 cdc_ether Errors received on client during enlisting with MAAS: no /run/net-bootif.conf lvmetad is not activated ...invalid path for logical volume. gave up waiting for root device common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) check rootdelay = (did system wait long enough) check root = (did the system wait for the right device?) missing modules (cat /proc/modules) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-path/ip-<ipaddress>:3260-iscsi-iqn,2004.05.com.ubuntu:maas:ephemeral-ubuntu-amd64-generic-xenial-daily-lun-1 does not exist.

It seems like the usb-c network adapter isn't loading properly or maybe just not quickly enough? Please let me know if you require any more info. I can provide info from /var/log/maas/* and dpkg -l '*maas*'|cat if need be.
