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>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
Jürgen Kunz<br>

And the reset adapter message occurs every 2 seconds until I stop
