[etherlab-users] Can I only apply gavinl's driver patches?

[Gavin Lambert]

You’ve misread that.

The patches are for 4.1, 4.4, 4.9, 4.13, and 4.14.  There aren’t any specific patches for minor versions of 4.1.

It is generally recommended (at least by me) to install all patches (the ones for future versions of the kernel simply won’t be used).  However, you can choose to apply only a subset of patches if you wish, particularly omitting some of the feature patches.  Instructions are given in the readme.

I'm using kernel 4.1.18 and RTAI 5.0.1.
Patched r8169 drivers are available in gavinl's <https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fu%2Fuecasm%2Fetherlab-patches%2Fci%2Fdefault%2Ftree%2Fdevices%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cgavin.lambert%40tomra.com%7C495ec88ff0394fc4bd2d08d62f917982%7C4308d118edd143008a37cfeba8ad5898%7C0%7C0%7C636748699191576019&sdata=16pHkf3luaysLAGkwVH4iovr1Ct5Czm6ibKwI0fEKXM%3D&reserved=0> patchset for kernel 4.1, 4.1.13, and 4.1.14.
1- Considering my kernel version, which one do you suggest I use?
2- What do I have do to differently before and during EtherLab's installation process for this to work? Can I just apply the driver patches and proceed with the installation<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.etherlab.org%2Fpipermail%2Fetherlab-users%2F2015%2F002820.html&data=02%7C01%7Cgavin.lambert%40tomra.com%7C495ec88ff0394fc4bd2d08d62f917982%7C4308d118edd143008a37cfeba8ad5898%7C0%7C0%7C636748699191586036&sdata=ftt6DBv3Whf45BJWIsKX5RRiqx1juak%2B%2F5bQQUC0iVc%3D&reserved=0> as usual? Or do I, alternatively, have to apply the other patches?
Best,
Mohsen
