No, you are misunderstanding how the ceton works. The card and driver
establishes a sort of internal virtual network. At one end of the
network is the ceton card itself, which acts like a computer that's
been assigned ip 192.168.200.1. At the other end of that network is
your linux box. You can't connect to a network without an interface to
it, so the driver creates the ctn0 virtual network interface, which
gets assigned ip 192.168.0.2. Thus the .2 would be your own IP, and
the .1 would be the ceton card's IP.
