Just for grins, type the following at the sim> prompt:
sim> show xq eth

This should produce a list of possible "devices" which can be
attached to.

This output will be of the form:
ETH devices:
  0  eth# (No description available)
  1  eth# (No description available)
  2  eth# (No description available)

The "N" in the "ethN" of the "attach xq ethN" simulator command
corresponds to the number under the "ETH" word in the output of the
"show xq eth".  The "eth#" value in the "show xq eth" output is the
OS device name.  They might NOT be one to one related.

Good Luck.
