Additional Interface for CHR on Linode

I’ve installed CHR on linode successfully, even documented it here.
However, I will like to create 1 additional interface (for private network), but CHR does not seem to detect it.
Linode is KVM and I’m configured for Full-virtualization (paravirtializations does not work at least up till 6.40)
I’ve read some post stating it works, but no direction on what was done to achieve this.

Well … On VMware ESXi , I just shutdown the CHR , add an additional Ethernet interface (make sure the new Ethernet interface is the same type as the other existing interfaces , the power up the CHR. That’s normally all there is to it.

Unless — However , If you are trying to add a 5th Ethernet, then things can start to get strange.

Something to consider is this:
A chr with only 1 (or 2) Ethernet interfaces. Then use tagged vlans (802.11 trunks).
This could enable you to have many many many Ethernet network interfaces while only using a few outside Ethernet interfaces.

I hope this helps
