Add loopback interface as an ethernet-based device
...to match Linux behaviour.
We can see evidence of Linux representing loopback as an ethernet-based
device below:
```
# EUI-48 based MAC addresses.
$ ip link show lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
# tcpdump showing ethernet frames when sniffing loopback and logging the
# link-type as EN10MB (Ethernet).
$ sudo tcpdump -i lo -e -c 2 -n
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode
listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes

```
Wireshark shows a similar result as the tcpdump example above.
