Eritrea did not want to be part of Ethiopia, Britain wanted more Somali lands to be part of an independent Somalia, and Britain was willing to cede a strip of territory in British Somaliland including the port of Zeila to Ethiopia.

So what if Eritrea had been made into an independent Republic, Britain got Ethiopia to cede territory in its east (let's say a straight line from Dolo Odo to Hargeysa) and Britain ceded a slice of territory to Ethiopia including the port of Zeila?
