Oh, and linuxptp is running on eth0, no bridges are set up. linuxptp
is started with "/usr/sbin/ptp4l -f /etc/linuxptp.cfg"

# cat /etc/linuxptp.cfg
# LinuxPTP configuration file for synchronizing the system clock to
# a remote PTP master in slave-only mode.
#
# By default synchronize time in slave-only mode using UDP and hardware 
time
# stamps on eth0. If the difference to master is >1.0 second correct by
# stepping the clock instead of adjusting the frequency.
#
# If you change the configuration don't forget to update the phc2sys
# parameters accordingly in linuxptp-system-clock.service (systemd)
# or the linuxptp SysV init script.

[global]
slaveOnly		1
delay_mechanism		Auto
network_transport	UDPv4
time_stamping		hardware
step_threshold		1.0

[eth0]
