Has wlan0 only, no eth0, and is fast. Adressing-structure remains same, both for IP and for devices.
Eth0-function lost, but further looks like really minimal effort, without loss of data.
Just checking that applications refer to correct accessible, active IP-adresses and URLs.
After that redistribution then this 'problematic' Raspberry3B+ is 'clean & empty' for new applications, incl. use of eth0.
Conclusion:
a pity that no simple solution could be found to activate eth0, but enough time has been spent to search.

Thanks for the support during the search for a solution!
