<p>I was having issues with the interface (ec_igb driver) for normal
Ethernet not always starting up and working, but I switched to a
newer kernel and this issue went away.</p>
<p>I think it would be best if the driver was loaded but only bound
to the active interface.</p>
<p>I'm having another issue which I'll send with a new subject.</p>
<p><br>

<p>Again thanks</p>

<div>Hello Mike,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the master starts the interfaces, he removes the igb
driver and loads the ec_igb driver by default.</div>
<div>So both interfaces are managed by the ec_igb driver.</div>
<div>But only one is used for ethercat. The other interface is
registered as normal NIC to the kernel.</div>

<p>Hi All</p>
<p>I'm configuring a box which has two Ethernet interfaces using
the same network driver for both (igb)</p>
<p>Using the packages build by Forian and his team (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bone11111:branches:science:EtherLab"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bone11111:branches:science:EtherLab</a>)
I would like to configure one port for EtherCAT and the other
for normal usage.</p>
<p>It seems to me that when I set the driver to "igb" in
/etc/ethercat.conf and enter an interface name or mac address
in MASTER0_DEVICE the ec_igb driver seems to still override
both interfaces.</p>
<p>As the ec_igb is not the best for general Ethernet usage it
would be best to keep the normal driver active.</p>
<p>How do I accomplish this?</p>
<div> Thanks<br>
