Updated kernel packages again.  I'm asking folks to go back and try to
break the vanilla kernel instead of the ubuntu-patched one.

FOR BROKEN NETWORKING:  Skunkworks'/Sam Sokolik's Realtek r8168 ethernet
problem is well-known when driving it with the r8169 driver in the
mainline kernel.  Realtek's r8169 and r8168 conflict, and the r8169
sometimes works (at max 100Mb) to drive the r8168, so that's the one
provided by default.  It often fails to work for unknown reasons; a
quick google will confirm.  Although Xenomai patches don't touch it
directly, they somehow trigger the problem.  Solution is to use the new
r8168 driver package (you should anyway, if you want 1Gb mode to work);
see below to install.


NEW TESTERS:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?XenomaiKernelPackages

NEW AND EXISTING TESTERS:

  sudo apt-get update
  # update kernel and headers (for building LCNC)
  sudo apt-get install \
    linux-image-3.5.7-xenomai-2.6.2.1 \
    linux-headers-3.5.7-xenomai-2.6.2.1

For folks with the r8168 NIC problem (do this while running the stock
kernel with working network, of course!):

  sudo apt-get install kmod-r8168-modules-3.5.7-xenomai-2.6.2.1
  sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.5.7-xenomai-2.6.2.1

Thanks!
