Hi, I'm having some troubles with the recognition of my NIC, I'm running
Linux Kernel: 2.6.38.8 Xenomai: 2.6.0 RTnet: 0.9.12 (git clone from may 07, 2012) NIC: 2x Realtek RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) The network device drivers are configured to be build as modules, when I'm loading them with $ modprobe r8169.ko everything works.. [ 981.679298] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 981.679451] r8169 0000:00:09.0: (unregistered net_device): no PCI Express capability [ 981.680679] r8169 0000:00:09.0: eth0: RTL8169sc/8110sc at 0xf8154000, 00:30:18:b0:c3:67, XID 18000000 IRQ 5 [ 981.680788] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 981.680927] r8169 0000:00:0b.0: (unregistered net_device): no PCI Express capability [ 981.682328] r8169 0000:00:0b.0: eth1: RTL8169sc/8110sc at 0xf8158000, 00:30:18:b0:c3:68, XID 18000000 IRQ 10 I see an eth0 device, can ping and so on. After unloading the r8169 driver again I start up rtnet manually using the rt_r8169 driver, I do: $ mknod /dev/rtnet c 10 240 $ insmod rtnet.ko $ insmod rtipv4 $ insmod rtpacket $ insmod rt_loopback $ insmod rt_r8169.ko everything seems to work fine: [ 1072.844172] *** RTnet 0.9.12 - built on May 10 2012 10:07:11 *** [ 1072.844178] [ 1072.844657] RTnet: initialising real-time networking [ 1082.954890] initializing loopback... [ 1082.955354] RTnet: registered rtlo [ 1090.474296] Initializing rt_r8169 driver Then I'm trying to set up the network devices, `rtifconfig rtlo up 127.0.0.1` works as I can see an entry in /proc/rtnet/devices and I'm able to rtping and everything but `rtifconfig rteth0 up` fails with the message "ioctl: No such device". When I run `rtifconfig -a` just rtlo is listed.. dmesg don't has any news for me either so I started to compare standard and real-time driver as suggested in the rtnet-users mailing list and found out that my rt_r8169.c is Version 2.2-04 <2005/08/22>. I guess it just requires some little fixes/updates in the rt_r8169 driver to recognize my card, only problem that I'm not that familiar with linux driver programming so any hint or suggestion where to focus would be very appreciated!
