Thats nothing Ric, while looking for a machine to run my new mill, I
moved the hard drive with the installed cnc running release to a
different box several times, so it is now using eth5. I know how to fix
it now, but have been lost in the search for my round tuit. I have a
machine broke down ATM, but should have it back running in another day
or so. Yes, its a certified PITA and needs fixed by debian or the
maintainer.
