Hi everybody, I just play around with the 0.6.0 version of rtnet. One thing is interesting - I think it is different from previous versions: I have a point-to-point (full duplex) connection from my Intel eepro100 board (using the rtnet driver) and a non-PC device. They communicate via UDP, this works fine. However, when I do not use a point-to-point connection but add a Hub to monitor the Ethernet traffic with a second PC, the communication between the real time PC and the non-PC device does not work as stable as it should work. It looks, as if there are collisions that are not handled by the system. With an older version of rtnet (0.2.10) this seemed to work fine as well.
I do not use rtmac - as I think it is not required in my setup. My question is now: If there are collisions on the Ethernet, is it the task of the eepro100 hardware to do the detection of collisions and re-sending of data or is this part of RTMac and this fails in my setup as I do not use RTMac? Does the usage of RTMac slow down the communication? Thanks for any feedback on that.
