The peer info polish PR #1934 introduced a small regression during console attachment by calling a method on the local eth object (which does not exist) resulting in a nil panic. This was an unfortunate oversight that the object is nil during attach. This PR fixes that by moving the network accessing code back into the internals of the admin RPI API. This will be sorted out in a nicer way in the custom protocol stack PR, so it should be fine for now as a hotfix.
