RE: Issue with static ip in NM

["Hooker, Jonathan" <Jonathan Hooker garmin com>]

That makes sense. Unfortunately, I am somewhat new to this level of network management, would it be possible to maybe get an example? Also remembering that it is possible to have multiple usb devices connected at the same time...

These are actually development devices. They do have the capability of getting out on the network but it is just because of some routing rules where we route its static ip through the eth0 of the machine to allow it on.

One way to do this is to set up a udev rules file that will always
assign a custom MAC to the device.  Since the MAC comes up random, the
device clearly isn't used to connect to a real ethernet network, and
it's probably a PocketPC/Windows Mobile device?
