Okay, got the problem. So basically your Ethernet card is not supported by RTAI but RT/Preempt, as the pre-configured image only comes with a RTAI you need to change the kernel module.
If that is the case and in order to change to kernel you will have to (can also be found under the link of my first post,
here
or
here
starting at 7.1):
1. Install the Preempt-RT kernel and module:
In order to allocate the RT kernel in the repository in termial enter:
(to launch the synaptic packet manager, this can also be done via the Menu -> Settings -> Synaptic...)
Search for "linux-image-rt", you should either find the ...-rt-am64 or ...-rt-686-pae release, if that is not the case you will have to add a new repository.
In Synaptic click on "Settings -> Repositories" now add a new source with the following settings (counldn't test it, but if if it doesn't work in default try "archive" or something among those lines):
Code:
Binary (deb); Address: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian; Distribution: wheezy; Section: archive
To check whether everything worked out use the Synaptic -> Search and type: "linux-image-rt" you should either find the ...-rt-amd64 or ...-rt-686-pae release.
Back in terminal run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-rt-amd64
or
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-rt-686-pae
(or install directly in Synaptic)
2. Reboot (fastest by typing "reboot"), and make sure you boot into the Preempt-RT kernel (note: this can also be seen shortly on bootup). When you log in, run terminal and verify that the following includes PREEMPT and RT.
3. Add the LinuxCNC Archive Signing Key to your apt keyring by running:
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 8f374fef
4. Launch synaptic again to add the "Linux CNC" repository. Once again, click on "Settings -> Repositories" now add a new source with the following settings:
Code:
Binary (deb); Address: http://linuxcnc.org/; Distribution: wheezy; Section: 2.7-uspace base
5. Update the package list from linuxcnc.org, either by "reload"-ing in Synaptic or by running:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
6. Install uspace/LinuxCNC, either by selecting "linuxcnc-uspace" in Synaptic (this will auto-select dependencies and documentation) or run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace
both should result in the exact same outcome.
Hope that helps. If any issues with replacing one RT kernel with another occur you could try a clean install. So basically, standard wheezy then the abovementioned. All the links for that kind of approach were already mentioned in this thread,
