Mesa Ethernet only when WiFi disabled - why? was created by idea
Hi,

Using linuxcnc from the debian 9 install.

I can connect to my 7i93 (MESA ethernet) controller when i disable Wi-Fi, and unable to startup linuxcnc when it is connected. The same behaviour occurs when using a laptop.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can make it so that both can be connected?

Thanks,
David

Did you setup the Ethernet as suggested in the hm2_eth manual page?

In general its best to use the 10.10.10.10 address for Mesa Ethernet cards
so they do not overlap with common NAT address ranges provided by your router

It is not just with the WI-Fi disconnected from the network, for it to work the wireless interface needs to be disabled.

It looks like you have not setup eth0 with a static IP address.
This can be done either through the network manager or by editing
the etc/network/interfaces file as the hm2_eth manual page describes

Yes this was the issue, even though I was using network manager to make setting changes that were not propogating through.

It needed editing text files and restarting the machine for them to take affect.

Thank you for the help
