Hi Neil,

I think on your system eth0 is mapped to wlp4s0. My reason for that is 
simply that it also mentions Mask:255.255.255.0 as mine does. Not being 
familiar with your system I don't know for certain but as it is a laptop 
I would guess p3p1 is the WiFi connection? That is just a guess as I am 
not an expert. If I /am/ right, and if Wifi is disabled that would 
explain it having no packets sent or received.

Kind regards,

Julian
