Thanks a lot for your replay

About the kernel , I can change the linux distro. OpenSuse 11.2 with 2.6.27
for example.
Do you know if I'll have any problems with it ?

About the RT driver of NetXtreme , I have the tg3 source code.

Is it the starting point to develop a RT driver for it ?

I can image that I have to use the rtdm- functions, but do you know any
tricks or quickly fashion ?

Thanks once again.

regards
