Non-eth0 Interface

[guidout]

Hello,
I have set the ip on my eth card and I can ping the VLP-16 address (192.168.1.201), I can also access the interface from the web.
But the ros driver cannot connect to it. Below is my output.
My interface name is enx8cae4cd75ae1 but I read from another Issue here that the name shouldn't matter...not sure what to do.

Problem solved. In Ubuntu I set my computer IP to 192.168.1.100 but, from the Velodyne web interface, I noticed the host IP was 192.168.1.3. Setting the IP to the .3 made it work. I'm not sure why they are different.
Please close this issue and sorry for the false alarm. Hopefully, it will be useful for somebody else though.
