Thanks Juergen, I completely forgot / looked over installling the ethercat master, I erroneously thought it was included in the terminal commands in the manual. Of course I immediately downloaded the sources (mercurial, hg clone http://etherlabmaster.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/etherlabmaster/etherlabmaster, then hg update tip). After installing automake and related tools I was able to generate the .configure file, but configuring gives me the following error:
<snip> checking for Linux kernel sources... /usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic (Kernel 3.5) checking for Linux modules installation directory... ethercat checking for kernel for 8139too driver... configure: error: kernel 3.5 not available for 8139too driver! victor@victor-realtime ~/sources/etherlabmaster $ </snip> I don't know why the 8139too driver is needed, I'm using a 3COM (running with 3c59x module according to lsmod) and an Intel-card in my PC. I do have an onboard Ethernet port, but that's switched off in the BIOS and doesn't show up when running lspci. As far as I can tell the 8139too driver is deprecated in all 3.x kernel versions. Does the etherlab master support a kernel > 2.6? Can anyone suggest me how to continue? On which distribution are you installing your EtherLAB system? I used the latest Linux Mint LXDE because that's what I work with at home; apparently kernel 3.5 is too new or something is wrong with the detection of network cards?
