Newbie trying to connect to 7i96S for months without success.

If there is a struggle to find information, then something needs to change. Documentation needs updating or some form of re-organization. I am going to work on it this winter once I have some free time. Also the introduction of Network Manager in Dec 2019 does now FORCE IPV6, so watch out for that, it's driver specific from what I have seen.

From my limited research, I believe 7i96s require LinuxCNC 2.9 to run properly.
