[Etherlab-users] "Master0 dead" and unable to check fro masters/slaves

[Henrik Barie]

Dear Mr. Stewering-Bone,

thank you, the "git checkout stable-1.5"-command worked after
I used the commands "git reset --hard" and "git pull", since
the configure.ac file caused a problem.

the branch changed from "origin" to "stable-1.5"

I already have the Master installed and also already modified the 
ethercat-file with my MAC-Adress and Device Module "generic".

For the "systemctl start ethercat"-command to work, I needed to modify 
the ethercat.conf located in /usr/local/share/etherlan/etc/ethercat.conf 
by adding MAC-Adress and "generic".


The command executed and with the command "systemctl status 
ethercat.service" I get:

● ethercat.service - EtherCAT Master Kernel Modules

Sadly the "ethercat ma" and "ethercat sl"-commands are still not found.
