I started all over again with a fresh install, and this time around it all works ‘out of the box’. Not really sure what I did wrong the first time around. The chromecast ethernet connection shows up as eth0, as below:

~# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e8:c7:4f:05:4e:98 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Thanks for your support @MichaIng !

For the benefit of those stumbling upon my posts in this thread: one doesn’t need g_ether if you are just trying to use the Chromecast ethernet adapter to get an ethernet connection.
