Hm, RTnet is a real-time capable network protocol stack and it makes little sense to use it in a non-real-time environment. What are you looking for? Why is the normal Linux network protocol stack not suitable for your app? RTnet is based on RTDM, which is not available for vanilla Linux, but I'm currently working on a RTDM port over Linux kernel services with the real-time preemption patch [1]. It will allow to use RTnet with Linux-rt in the near future. Wolfgang.
