I think only the generic driver is supported in the deb install. If you build Ethercat master from sources I think you can build the Intel driver which will give better performance. Check the docs which outlines the build process. Its pretty easy.Hello,
is the any way to change the network card driver from default generic to my hardware native e1000e when I install ethercat stuff from responsitories please?
thanks regards

Hi,
Following the doc, this looks a set to me :
--enable-e1000
--with-e1000-kernel
If kernel not specified, it uses current kernel.

don't forget to specify the driver in /etc/ethercat.conf

From your dump, is there a typo in your MAC address?
