[Etherlab-users] ethercat with debian 11 and kernel 5.10.0-17-amd64

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Dear Vincent,

I am sorry, actually there are no patchted drivers for r8169 and e1000e
in the stable 1.5 tree for this kernel version.
The ccat and the generic driver are actually kernel version
independent, so it was the starting point for me to build up dkms
modules.
If there are patched drivers for the installed kernels I need
additional logic on dkms level to decide when to build the modules.
The coming new stable branch will include more patched drivers and on
my side  I have to extend the dkms modules.

So it is work in progress

Best regards

Andreas
