Comment(by mikus):

 My wired ethernet adapter was plugged in before the machine was booted.
 [That was how 'eth0' was assigned to it.]

 > It seems likely your USB/ethernet adaptor became eth2.

 See my ticket description.  My experience with the XO is that, when at
 boot there is no wired connection, there are TWO 'eth' interfaces set up
 (for the radio - might they be one for the school, and one for outside?)
 in addition to the mesh interface.  Both 'eth' interfaces have canned (XO
 given) IP addresses.

 When at boot there is a wired connnection which supplies an IP address, it
 gets set up as 'eth0' (with that IP address).  The radio (as I said) is
 left with ONE 'eth' interface ('eth1', with a XO assigned IP address) in
 addition to the mesh interface.

 After the suspend/resume (when originally booted as in the paragraph
 above), the radio as I said in the ticket description appears to have
 again been given TWO 'eth' interfaces (now 'eth1' and 'eth2') in addition
 to the mesh interface (similar to what the radio is given at boot without
 a wired connection).  Both 'eth' interfaces have canned (XO given) IP
 addresses.
