[Emc-developers] EtherCAT

Is there any expectation to incorporate the EtherCAT HAL driver into the 2.6 release? It looks like it is useful: http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/27-driver-boards/27129-using-boschrexroth-drives-with-linuxcnc#40098 Links to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR9rCFavFjU
