Try the same with some other driver. The rt_3c59x is not well tested due
to its fundamental latency issues. I would like to exclude problems here
from core problems.

Very strange as there is no relation between the Ethernet driver and the
precise RTmac/TDMA configuration. I guess this is some obscure side
effect of a major issue. Already tried to configure this slot manually
with tdmacfg?

Well, the best thing would be if you could try to test on a more recent
platform. Some things have improved since 0.8.3 (although I don't see a
concrete fix related to your observations), and it would be easier to
track the issues on the latest release. Unfortunately, RTAI itself is
not in a reliable state regarding compilation and existing test results
right now, but Xenomai 2.0.x is well tested and should work. If not, we
do have a bug!
