Ajay If you don't need real-time performance, use a user-space helper task. If you _do_ need real-time performance, Lineo ISG (a.k.a., the artist formerly known as Zentropix) will be releasing a real-time networking package "any day now." I know, we've been saying that for a long time now, but it is now possible to allocate some resources to clean it up and stabilize additional drivers. Since it is derived from Linux networking, it is, of course, GPL. dave... -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl Your_email" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/rtlinux/

Yes. The current easy method is to pass requests down a fifo to
a Linux process that does
open sockets and rtfifo
while (1){
read data from the fifo
write it to the port
}
or something like that. There is a more integrated method that one company
has done in 2.2 -- I don't know if they want it known. We would like to
take the RT-ethernet stuff we have and add a IP/UDP layer soon, but it has
not been completed yet -- that would be useful mainly in RTL - RTL networks.
