I have an external controller device that connects to my Mac via USB (USB-C to Mini-USB), however the connection is used to transmit IEEE 802.3 data frames; i.e. IP Ethernet traffic. This means I have to configure an IP address for the USB port too. I have been unable to do this, or find information how to do this. Am I missing something? Is there a workaround to get this to work in a Parallels VM? Is there third party software that can facilitate this? Any help is humbly appreciated.
