Hi,
Indeed you are using the wrong driver
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCI-E-Gigabit-Network-Connections-under-Linux-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
e1000e.x.x.x.tar.gz is designed to work with the Intel®
82563/82566/82567 Gigabit Ethernet PHY, Intel®
82571/82572/82573/82574/82577/82578/82579/82583 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller, and I217/I218 controllers under Linux*. The latest version
and earlier versions of this driver are available from SourceForge.
If your adapter/connection is not 82563, 82566, 82567, 82571, 82572,
82573, 82574, 82577, 82578, 82579, or 82583-based, you should use one of
the following drivers:
igb-x.x.x.tar.gz driver supports all Intel® 82575, 82576, 82580,
I350, I210, or I211-based Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections
e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz driver supports all Intel® 8254x-based PCI and
PCI-X Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, there is still no "ec_igb" driver in etherlab, so you
have to use "igb" + "ec_generic" instead, for your Ethernet controlelr.
Otherwise, if you want to use the ec_e1000e driver you have to buy
another Intel Ethernet Controller.
best regards

Hello everyone,
we want to get ethercat running with a Intel I210 (e1000e) pci express
card. The mainboard provides a Realtek 8168 Ethernet Controller. With
this one, we get ethercat up and running without problems. Sadly, we
suspect some problems with the realtek ethernet adapter due to irregular
system crashes when running a realtime system.
Our solution was to install the intel ethernet adapter.
We clone the mercurial repository and compile the software with
./configure --with-rtai-dir=xxx --prefix=xxx --disable-8139too
--enable-e1000e
the kernel is detected automatically (we use a custom linux 3.14-rt
patched) and the compile and install process works just fine. We add the
necessary config parameters in
/etc/sysconfig/ethercat
And the device is found. Now, when we start the ethercat service,
ethercat as printed when typing "ethercat master" is stuck in the phase
"Waiting for device(s)..."
The mac address is correct and listed in "main" but with a (waiting...)
behind it.
It seems like the ethernet device handling is not removed from the
system as it is still listed as an "UP RUNNING" device, e.g. when typing
"ifconfig". When using the r8168, everything works perfectly. The kernel
is compiled with "Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet
support" as a module, not built-in.
Anyone got any idea what we are missing here?
Best,
Phil
