You're creating a slave configuration for a slave at ring position 1
(second slave), but your bus does only contain 1 slave (pos 0), that's
why the configuration isn't applied to your slave. You can see that when
using the 'ethercat config' command.

The slave seems to not conform to the EtherCAT standard, concerning the
contents of the SII (see
http://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/faq.php#incomplete-sii for how to work
around this).  Please post the output of 'ethercat sii_read -v'.
