Mesa 7i96 driver/setup Plasma Table

haha I was just reading though them in order to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Pardon my ignorance. I'm going through the process now and I'm having a problem changing permissions in the network folder of the file system.

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/hm2_eth.9.html

I was unable to add the script to the "setup" document in the "interfaces.d" (I'm assuming that's the document I need to modify, contextually it has an eth0 script)

I attempted to change permissions by using: chmod +rwx "interfaces-d", I was however denied permission.

the address will be changed 10.10.10.10

Please dont change the permissions/modes of any system file

The instructions in the hm2_eth manual page state

Configure network with static address
Add these lines to the file /etc/network/interfaces to configure eth1
with a static address:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0

You will have to change the ip address in the file to say 10.10.10.1 and probably change the device name, Also the "hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0" is typically only appropriate for Intel MACs

to edit the interfaces file you use sudo:

sudo mousepad /etc/network/interfaces

You can also avoid all this and use the network manager to setup the MAC

Starting to get really frustrated... I'm getting the exact same error despite all of these efforts. I added the script to "interfaces" and made sure to change the address.

Will "hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0" hurt if it's not an intel network card?

Still says "posix realtime"...

As mentioned by PCW earlier, it should say that, it should be "posix realtime". That is the only way Linuxcnc will be able to control hardware. Non-realtime is for simulation and testing only.
BTW, start with a fresh installation, changing system file permissions is not good in any way shape or form.

Ah okay, I thought it was supposed to say "preept-rt"

Good idea: I botched my dual boot anyway lol.

"posix realtime" is correct
"hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0" will probably just cause an error with a Realtek MAC so really only for Intel and some Broadcom chips

what does ip a report now?
