I've just started playing around with RTNet. The plan is to use a master on my EMC2 machine, and talk to slaves to do real time control of machines (my toy robot arm first). The slave will be a small embedded device. I'm currently developing on an NGW100 which has an Atmel AP7000 on it. Unfortunately there isn't a realtime kernel patch for this CPU, so I'm going to make the clients standalone - either by porting the rtnet software, or implementing it myself based on the packet specification. The plan is to move it to a smaller self contain microcontroller (AVR32UC3 range) when it is up and running.
Anyhow, I've just got the basic networking going and noticed a strange packet appearing every now and then....

It looks like a corrupt buffer, half sync packet, and half a config packet. This is the normal traffic I see...

This is coming from my master, a VIA Pico, with a via rhine ethernet controller, using kernel 2.6.24-16-rtai (stock EMC2 deploy). I noticed that a comment in the rtnet rhine driver source say Rhine II, but the board has a rhine III. Could it be due to this? Or is this an undocumented packet?
