The same for as well this is the first time I have had an eth0 not be an eth0

but it is what worked for me YMMV 

now this is an older pi2 or 3 I believe it was in the junque box

I was just trying this out to see how it worked. and testing the ease of set up instructions.

I say so far it was easy, except for the static IP part.

I will play with it some more tonight I may even try a different pi to see if it is common with a fresh image

Bob,
Is this the DVSwitch Server image or did you do a pat-get install
dvswitch-server on a running system?
