[clue] the WTH boxes

[Mike Bean]

ifconfig and ethtool had somehow managed to will an eth3 into existence
without and ifcfg-eth3 file.  Weird.   I was tempted to just turn the whole
thing off, because I don't think anyone's using it, but I just wrote an
ifcfg-eth3 and bounced the networking service.  (Made sure it stayed up.)
