[etherlab-users] Userspace scheduling with RTAI

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for your offer.

I will talk to Florian (our chief develloper for ethercat) about the 
RTDM code (quality, concept,.. ) on Monday I think. Maybe I have to 
rework or tune  the code.
I think end of next week I will push it up into the repository.

Best regards

Andreas
