Ethercat HAL driver

Ok so there is a chance a intelcard could fix that.. i will try to get one on monday and report here if it works..
if someone has another solutions for that it would be very nice to know

Hi again,

today I once again try pci network card Tenda L8139D together with 8139too driver and system works without crashing now for more than 4 hours. I think that generic driver was not suitable for non of the cards.

Best regards.

Hey wazjebk, same here. changed my vmware-card on the virtual machine to intel and used the e1000e-driver and everything worked fine.
Now i need to order a card for my milling-computer.

That is a Realtek 8139 10/100 net card branded as Tenda, if i had to choose i would run away from Tenda.

HI,

I just use this card for testing at the moment. Do you have some bad experience with Tenda? Which network card than you recommend?

Best regards.

Not me personally, but a lot my customers and friends say the reliability is hit and miss on them, same as TP Link. If they do work properly, they will do that all the time for a looong time, but some have a variety of intermittent problems.
On the other hand the 8029 and 8139 chips from realtech work like a charm, had and use several hundreds of them without a hitch, ever. Well apart from lighting strikes !!!
find intel PRO100 boards from older computers (should be some left on ebay for small change) if you want absolute reliability and compatibility with whatever OS or hardware. They just work.....for years and years without shut down. Also used several hundreds of them especially on servers and some of them have been ON for over 7 years. I think i still have 2 or 3 in my workshop that i left for when reliability must be absolute.
