[etherlab-users] NIC Hardware compatibility

[William Montgomery]

Can anyone recommend specific NIC manufacturer and model that works well 
with the current EtherCAT master?

I have used the Intel PRO 1000 for a few years with good success but the 
driver doesnt work for me in recent kernels (2.6.37).  I have seen other 
list traffic that indicates Realtek chipsets give good performance but 
my recent experience with Netgear GA311 (r8169) has lots of datagram 
UNMATCHED and datagram TIMEOUTS.

Regards,
Wm
