<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br>I would like to ask whether anyone has the patch for r8169 driver for the 2.6.38 kernel? In the repository, up to 2.6.37 is supported and then jumped to 3.0.<br><br></div>2.6.38 is, until RTAI catches up with 3.*, the latest kernel supported by RTAI and it would be nice if we had ethercat drivers for it too.<br>
<br></div>I tried applying the diff between the orig and ethercat versions of the driver for 2.6.37, on the driver of 2.6.38 and fixed the conflicts, which were rather trivial. However, starting the ethercat master results in many timeouts, mismatches, errors and failures of all sorts, which leads me to believe that simply applying the diff to the newer driver hadn't been enough.<br>
<br></div>Even if not officially supported, perhaps someone here has already fixed the driver for his own use. In that case, would you please share it? If not, would the developers take (possibly small) time to come up with the driver?<br>
<br>Thank you,<br>Shahbaz<br></div>
