<BR>
Thank you for the patch. I see you submitted this to the list over 7 months ago, but it doesn’t appear to be in the repository yet. Is this going to make it into the repository at some point in time?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

<BR>
In case anyone is interested I have attached a patch for a device driver for the Beckhoff CX2100-0004 power module.<BR>
<BR>
It implements a network device driver for the CX2100's EtherCAT DMA interface. Note: I have only implemented the ability to link into the EtherCAT master, I have not implemented the generic NIC interface (as this is an unlikely use case and I don't need it). I have not implemented anything for the LCD screen or Nav buttons as the documentation for these is still being prepared by Beckhoff.<BR>
<BR>
The patch is for revision 1.5-2266 (which is a bit old now), but it only contains new files and minimal changes to the make / config files so will probably work against most releases. The driver is also only released for Linux 2.6.32. If you need a different Linux version, just copy the source file and rename it to the version you need and hopefully all of the networking API calls will be supported.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Graeme.<BR>

<BR>
We've just got ourselves a Beckhoff CX2020 computer with a CX2100-0004 power module to play with. The power module requires a PCI device driver to access the network port (and LCD screen and nav buttons).<BR>
<BR>
Has anyone had a go at a device driver for one of these modules yet?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>

Graeme.<BR>
