As it turned out, bringing up an eth0:1 was the answer. It also appears that its default configuration seems to do exactly what I wanted it to do, which is to act as a hub, expanding the number of ports available by enabling another 8 ports in the garage on the end of that cable, and reducing by about 150 feet, the length of cable and a simple hub it presently travels thru to get 10 feet physically. I had, with extreme difficulty, fished a piece of cat5e thru a largely in-accessable piece of this structure called a house, in order to get the network to the G0704. And I've enough jumper cables so that it, the r-pi, o-pi and an old dell it appears I will have to use as an X renderer for the r-pi's output, can all be plugged in at the same time. I was going to use the o-pi for that, but its hdmi port is defective. So job one this morning is to take my movie camera out and takes a short film of it booting the oem os, then booting armbian, and sending that back to the vendor to prove its display hdwe is defective. Its color alright, a mixture of pale lime green in the highlights, with a burple overlay over everything, extremely poor experience for these old eyes. Insulting even. The display from the r-pi, using the same cable and dvd-i adapter, is pure and perfect. If alibaba will replace the o-pi, I might still try to use it, next summer maybe when I need to get rid of the Dells heat. But till then the old p4 Dell will have to do. So I will pick a path and just do it instead of wasting time discussing it. :) Cheers Greg, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
