Everything is working great now even the dedicated NIC. When using the dedicated NIC absolutely no difference in network/ radio / Thetis performance. Jerrys monitoring app proves it. It was a must with my 7000 to utilize the dedicated NIC to run Thetis without VAC overflows. CMASIO also needed the dedicated NIC to limit audio artifacts. With the G2 and p2app no issues at all simply placing the G2 on your network, and as a bonus you have Ethernet connectivity with your pi OS in lieu of wireless.

This is the difference between the extremely mature and proven Linux network protocol stack vs. the very primitive protocol stack in the legacy openHPSDR FPGA firmware.

What is this "Jerry's monitoring app" you write about?

You are absolutely correct. The protocol 2 firmwar for the 7000 series was definitely lacking and never officially supported as you know. The P2 app firmware for the G2 is rock solid and really a pleasure to deal with Jerry‘s monitoring app is simply an app that he added to his image, it monitors network activity Processor, load and ram usage really pretty cool.
