Hello Gavin,<br>
<br>
thanks for the hint, I'll have a look for Florians patch and your
post. I applied Florians "Link detection" patch for e1000e driver
3.4 to the 3.2er driver (see attatchment), it solves the link
detection issue here.<br>
<br>

I just noticed that Florian updated the drivers on 4 January

it includes the same fix or not). I haven’t had a chance to

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello
Daniel,<br>
<br>
I am using this combination for a while now, with 32- and
64-bit versions of the 3.2er Debian RT-Kernel. 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. Unfortunately, I did not have
time yet to correct these issues.<br>
