I have a camera connected to interface `enp0s31f6` to ethernet port on the host (Linux 22.04.4 LTS). The ethernet NIC ip is static. The camera is detected on the host, but not from within the docker container.

I ran the container as `docker run -it --rm --privileged --network host --name basler_container basler`  
What should I look at next to try to figure out the cause?

If you look at the output of `ifconfig from container` below you can see that the `enp0s31f6` is not listed there though there is `eth0` that was added on the same network but with different ip
