Can't Boot past "en2: promiscuous mode enable succeeded"

Working on a friends MacBook Pro. When I try and boot, after the log in screen, it freezes at about a third on the status bar. In safe mode I can see that it freezes after "en2: promiscuous mode enable success". So far I have tried:

Booting in Safe Mode
Resetting PRAM
Resetting SMC
Booting in Recovery Mode
Checked hardware physically and with Apple Hardware Test - All Clear
Checking date in Single User Mode
Booting from Installer USB
Ran /sbin/fsck -fy in Single User Mode - Volume appears to be ok

Only other things I can see in terminal when I try and boot that look odd:

"Warning: couldn't block sleep during cache update"

"Warning: proceeding w/o DiskArb"

MacBook Pro Retina 15" Mid 2012

10.10

Intel Core i7, 2.6 GHz, 8GB Memory

I'm out of ideas. Can anybody help me?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

It is still bring repaired. They told me that it will take at least three weeks (due to their capacity). According to the service staff, it will be covered but I don't have it back yet...

I have this same issue, but following the link to the Support Coverage no recall information was present. The model matches "MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011)", but should I see something else?

Thanks

The recall program is no longer available from what I understand. My 17" failed completely a few weeks ago, not worth fixing until logic board prices drop to a few hundred dollars on eBay!

Exact same issue (stops after "en1: promiscuous mode enable succeeded")

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011) are not included in the recall.
