title: Unable to ssh into Beaglebone Black from Arch Linux
body: <p>I have a Beaglebone Black (running on Debian) which I'm connecting to my laptop (running on Arch Linux) through usb. The laptop is able to read Beaglebone as a storage device. However, I am unable to connect to Beaglebone through the browser/ssh by accessing  the following ip -  192.168.7.2.
  <code>ifconfig -a</code> gives the following output-</p>

  <p><code>enp0s20u2</code> is the interface of Beaglebone and has no ip allotted to it (as per the documentation, its ip should be 192.168.7.2) and thus I am unable to ssh or browse into it.</p>
