A Universal Interface Board connects to the computer via Ethernet.
On a correctly configured system (A), arp -a lists its MAC address and establishes a connection. The connection appears to happen through/dev/ttyACM0
arp -a
...
(10.0.0.100) at d8:80:39:27:d5:4b [ether] on eth1
...
On the other system (B), the device is visible, yet its MAC address is hidden and it is not possible to establish a connection.
arp -a
...
(10.0.0.100) at <incomplete> on eth2
...
Even more interestingly, when I connect the UIB to A, then disconnect and connect to B, the connection to the UIB is established.
