IgH EtherCAT Master  1.5.3
Device Drivers

This table contains a list of all available native drivers, depending on the kernel version.

The generic and the ccat driver are independent of the kernel version.

To find out which native driver is required for your network card, you can use lspci -vv or look in /sys:

admin@ipc:~> ls -l /sys/class/net/eth5/device/driver
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 6. Nov 15:35 /sys/class/net/eth5/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/e1000

or

admin@ipc:~> basename $(readlink /sys/class/net/eth5/device/driver)
e1000

In this example, eth5 uses the e1000 driver.
