Realtek onboard ethernet
the kernel messages:
The problem is the same as here forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=85431r8169 0000:07:00.0: eth0: link up
r8169 0000:07:00.0: eth0: link up
r8169 0000:07:00.0: eth0: link up
I know that with a newer kernel version that problem solved or with driver r8168 from realtek
but i know that if upgrade ubuntu the linuxcnc installation will break because the kernel is running is a special version with real time extensions.
So what is the most simple solution to this problem ?
Also when linuxcnc will be released with new ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS version ?
Iam planing to buy a chep mini-itx with on board cpu for linuxcnc and iam between the new intel J1900 boards and amd kabini boards
Have anyone tried yet these boards for linux compatibility and performance with linuxcnc ?

The r8168 - 8169 driver issue is a pain. The 'correct' solution is the one you have read, get the driver source and build with dkms for the running kernel.
Also when linuxcnc will be released with new ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS version ?
The answer is possibly never.
The push has been to seperate linuxcnc into a software package which will install on a suitable kernel and stop supporting a complete Ubuntu distro, which has its own problems.
There is a solution which sees you using 12.04 and solving the driver issue
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC_On_Ubuntu_Precise
The r8168 module is built in the image package and should work 'out of the box'
These packages work on 12.04, 12.10 and Wheezy ( I have tried them on all those) and will future proof you for a few years.

Except you dont use apt, just download the kernel packages and realtime and install with dpkg
I have no idea if the precise package of lcnc works on Wheezy, I built from sources.
If this does not mean much to you, stick to the 12.04 install, that is far more straight forward and many people have followed it sucessfully.
Also works with 64 bit version ?
I have a 64 bit rtai kernel running Machinekit, but packages are still in development and there is nothing for lcnc at present.
There is currently no advantage in running 64bit, as linuxcnc is a 32 bit program, which does not use extended registers and runs fine within the memory constraints, but it is possible yes

So i fetched source from git installed the depedencies as described here wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Debian...-Rt_Compile_LinuxCNC
but when when i execute configure script
# ./configure --with-threads=rt-preempt-user
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-threads
checking build toplevel... /home/labros/linuxcnc-dev
checking installation prefix... run in place
checking for grep... /bin/grep

checking for RT dir... configure: error: RT not found. Specify:

or use

to build without a realtime system.
How can i solve this problem ?
