With the stock Gutsy kernel my NIC works fine. With any vanilla kernel (with or without RTAI) my NIC does not work. By the time I realized this and switched my NIC for a 9 year old one, I was so far along in the source process that I wanted to finish it rather than switch to the debs.
So in conclusion the experimental debs probably will work as well, but I ended up not trying them beyond installing the patched kernel. I think what I would like to do at some point is create a second installation of Ubuntu (or a virtual machine), install the experimental debs and see if the halcmd problem is there. If it isn't then compare the permissions of all the files. I suspect that this will pinpoint the problem. However I won't get chance to do that in the next month, or probably before the end of the year. If it helps I can ls -l any folders you want and email off-list the output. Also it would be interesting if someone else reproduced my steps to see if they have the halcmd problem or not. Perhaps it is the version of GCC I used? Andy Jeff Epler wrote: > Hi.
