Hi
I am setting up a mesa 7i76e card and on two cards I get these errors. They have me stumped.

The first error (which is really the only important one) indicates problems with latency
What kernel and PC hardware (including Ethernet chip) are you using?
You can get the kernel info with:
uname -a

OK, a couple of things...
1. You need Preempt-RT kernel to run Mesa Ethernet cards (you are running RTAI)
2. Dont know if you are running the uspace version of LInuxCNC or not but this is also required
3. You CPU looks like a Atom N270, even with the correct kernel this may not have enough
horsepower to run a Preempt-RT kernel and get decent latency YMMV
4. The easiest current way to get the proper kernel and uspace version of LinuxCNC
is to install the LinuxCNC/Debian Stretch test ISO:
www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreem...-uspace-amd64-r9.iso

I think that the apposite phrase is "absolutely terrible". The jitter should be a small fraction of the period. Any more than 5% is too much.
Your jitter is 98% of the thread period.

And the latency test. I never know how to interpret this

Thanks Andy. I dropped that MB as it was old anyway.
So now I installed the image that Peter suggested. It installed OK but I cannot seem to get the eth0 to be recognized at all.
I put this code into the .etc/network/interfaces files.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.1
hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0
Is this still valid?
Any suggestions please?

At some point Linux changed all the device names, so
you probably need to find your Ethernet device name with:
ip a
also
hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0
is only for Intel Ethernet chips
