First of all, my deepest deepest sympathies,sorry to hear you live in Melbourne, the only good thing Victoria has to other is Philip Island and the roads, airports and docks that lead out of the state.

Why aren't you using the premade image for your RPi ?

The links are on the Linuxcnc home page under downloads.

Please supply config files.

No the W5500 works, initiating (ip addrr and other such stuff) is done via the FPGA via the SPI interface.
You'll have to setup your config to use the W5500 so that the correct bitfile is generated.

Examples and docs are supplied on the github project page.

Remember "it doesn't" work isn't very helpful when trying to get help. Config files and such help. Remember this is not a trip to the dentist, we are not dentists and don't want to have to pull teeth to get information to help.

What does that exactly mean? How do you initiate the w5500?

Any reason for not using the ready made debs from the releases page?
github.com/NTULINUX/RTAI/releases
Or from here
linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/base/binary-amd64/
and the corresponding LinuxCNC build from here
linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-rt/binary-amd64/

I think I'm going to send it, because I found in the /usr/src/RTAI/ksrc/5.4.279 there are 4 .patch files that I think are what I needed.

Yeah, to many things missing and/or wrong there, or wrong config files.
Use StepConf wizard to make a new config and choose as shown in the attached picture:

This wouldn't happen to be what you are saying is it?

$ git clone /ksrc/patches/v5.4.279/"*.patch ; do patch -p1 < "${i}" ; done
