[etherlab-users] WG: r8169 driver for 2.6.38 kernel

[R.Kelbley]

Hi Olaf,

Would you mind sharing your .config or any other insight you have to
getting RTAI 3.9 running on 2.6.35.9 with Ubuntu 12.04?  I have it
running on 2.6.32.20 but am also seeing the mismatches and timeouts.
Unfortunately, when I try to use 2.6.35.9 RTAI locks up the computer
when trying to run latency tests or other RTAI application.

Best regards,
Robby
