After much Googling, I see you are correct for OS X 10.4 [ Earlier versions of OS X required kernel patching
]
While this tactic may be useful here as a diagnostic, I can't help feeling that the problem should be able to be solved more simply.
The WWW is full of problems where IPs are self-assigned because DHCP servers don't respond quickly enough or clients time-out too quickly. There seems to me to be a hint that Intel-chipset based Macs may suffer from the latter.

What will be interesting is whether the router's "native" MAC works out-of-the-box. There should be no need to clone anything
unless the problem actually lies with his cable connection
