My WHS just started this error and errors for asp.net, as well as BOINC shared computing..
My searches found a functional [ so far ] solution..
I was going to post it but found your entry.
"Service 'WMConnectCDS' failed to start correctly, due to 'Init MacAddressControl' returning error '0x80040154'."

Run the QFE thats stored in c:\whs\UMUPNP.EXE. That way you actually reset it to the deafult state. Worked for me :)
=================================
This worked for me in NOV 2010 .. but other issues like asp.net errors recently cropped up and BOINC [seti ] quit working.
Note this WHS just 'sits there doing it's job and managing AVAST! to attached client PCs.
The only allowed automatic updates for this server are the Avast! updates, and Windows Update.
.. troubleshooting continues on asp.net and BOINC but 'Network Health' is ~~ Green ~~
