Hi Takis,
I've just build and tested the code and additionally to the loading and setting up which worked before, I can
now also rtping the device without oopsing. But, ping wasn't working so I grabbed the rtnet documentation.
While reading the documentation my PC suddenly restarted :-) Initially I thought it was power management
which turned my screen blank. But after moving the mouse and remembering that PM was turned off, I slowly
started realising that it was a crash :)
The things I did were: 1. load adeos 2. load hal, nucleus, the native skin 3. load rtai_rtdm, rtnet, rtmac, tdma and rt_3c59x 4. rtifconfig rteth0 up 192.168.1.8 5. rtping 192.168.1.8 which didn't work, but didn't appear to cause any bad thing either checked rtroute as rtping's output mentioned something about that
This fails due to the lacking loopback device. Try the same under linux by first calling "ifconfig lo down". :)
But even if rt_loopback is loaded, this local ping will of course not involve the NIC in any way. Use an existing output route to that device instead, e.g. 192.168.1.255 (broadcast).
6. more README which was followed by a reset after reading about 15 seconds
Mmpf. This could actually be a more fundamental problem. What happens without rt_3c59x? Please also try the same with the loopback device loaded. Then do not load the so far unused modules tdma and rtmac. E.g., there will be no timer started without tdma being loaded.
