[etherlab-users] Copley CoE issues

Hi All,

I am having some issues with CoE on my Copley Accelnet controllers.  CoE reads seem to be working fine, but CoE writes work sometimes, but most of the time they do not.  So, first the setup.

Linux imcs-ecat-450 3.2.21-xenomai-2.6.2.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 18 14:13:46 CDT 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Realtek NIC
Etherlab is latest in 1.5 stable branch
Running in user land
78 ethercat slaves, 24 of which are single axis copley controllers.  The rest are Beckhoff I/O.

The operations to the Copley I am testing are get/set acceleration and velocity.  The get operations work reliably.  The last message in the dmseg dump below is displayed when the write fails, which is most of the time.  What's weird is once the write operations start working, they keep working.
