I tried to use rt a while ago but have not yet get rtnet up and running. I have 
however tried soem Ethercat master and soes Ethercat slave and they work. I run 
soem Ethercat master within linuxcnc. I should solder and try another board 
before I continue with the hardware for the Ethercat board.

I discovered then using ordinary rt kernel that scheduling is good enough but 
then logging times of messages sent with Wireshark there sometimes is a delay 
of up to 5-10 milli seconds.

You got rtai and rtnet up and running?

No help right now, only new questions.
