How did you tell userspace to use eth0?

In general, you don't tell userspace anything about interfaces. You
open a client socket to a destination IP address, and the kernel
routing tables are used to determine the egress interface. In general,
it will use a public scope IP address from that interface as the
source address.

The conduit interface should not have an IP address, its just
plumbing, but not otherwise used. Your IP address is on br0, so by
default the kernel will use the IP address from it.
