Do you have ethercat slaves installed? eg connected via the ethercat network cable?
If not plesae review the instructions in the sticky carefully. 
forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-etherc...-how-to-step-by-step
Is /etc/ethercat.conf

correctly set up with your mac address.
What does dmesg say?

Thank you, problem solved. KERNEL=="EtherCAT[0-9]", MODE="0777" was masking the mac address
