The rtl8169_phy_timer is regularly polled in ec_poll instead.

The drivers are all non-blocking and interrupt-free. All work that
interrupt handlers normally do is done in ec_poll instead.

If you cannot send packets anymore, I suspect that you may have overrun the
tx queue, i.e. sent a packet before the previous one has been completed.
You're also not calling the ethercat transmission functions from different
threads, right ?


thank you
