That's an issue on RedHat-derivative operating systems, too. I was able to find an old etherlab specfile for an RPM package, but it's not part of Fedora (Fedora won't ship alternative kernels or external kernel modules, grr): http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/testing/etherlab.spec Since EtherCAT libs will be missing on most systems, library detection would need to be added configure.in, and driver build made conditional in the Makefiles.
