[etherlab-users] EtherCAT Master via USB-Adapter?

[Karl Zeilhofer]

Hi,

has anyone experiences with running the IgH EtherCAT master via a
USB-Ethernet adapter?
I'm using one on one of my servers, which runs since years without
problems. It uses the r8152 Ethernet driver, which is not supported.

For the first tests, I don't want to configure my main Ethernet port,
which is an e1000e, on my daily working machine.
As far as I understood from the documentation, that Ethernet port cannot
be used for the daily network traffic any more, right?

If it would generally work over USB, I would buy a new adapter with one
of the supported chip sets. Any recommendations?

Kind regards,
Karl

PS: My system is a Linux Mint 19.1 and I've installed the EtherCAT
master by using the debianize scripts from here:
