new pnc.config won't load in linuxcnc

Im an idiot. A friend told me what boards to get, I didn't realize that the 7i76E was meant to connect only with eithernet and hooked it up like a 7i76. now i will have to hook it up through eithernet and figure out how to configure the connection, or get a 7i76. If i use eithernet hook up then i loose the internet connection. next question is, can the 7i77 and 7i76E run together?

Thought you have been talking about a 6I25 +7I77_7I76

A 7I76E is an Ethernet connected card unrelated to a 6I25

Nope.

sorry for the confusion, i have to stop being lazy and missing digits out. i guess i will have to buy a 7i76 board and start all over.

Thanks for you time and effort. I really appreciate it.

Yes, there is 7I76E firmware to run with an attached 7I77

You can run a LinuxCNC real time Ethernet connection using the motherboard
Ethernet and just ad a USB WIFI or Ethernet dongle for internet access.

i had already ordered the 7i76 before i seen this response. it will likely take 2 or more weeks to get it so i will probably try to figure out how to connect and load firmware while waiting.
