If there is a EtherCAT device connected to the computer, the driver works fine.<br>There are two issues in this driver version, if there are no EtherCAT devices connected. The first, the one you mentioned here, is when the EtherCAT Master starts up with no device connected, then the network-adapter is continously reseted until a device is connected. It may hang the computer if no device is connected for a while.<br>The second issue is that when the link is plugged off, the link state is not updated.
