Hi,

the systemd service assumes eth0 as the interface name. Please read
/usr/share/doc/linuxptp/README.Debian to adjust the interface name to
match your setup or just remove the -i option if the interface is
already specified in the config file.

I intend to change this with one of the next versions of the package
and replace the interface selection by something more sane.

Regards,
Tino
