# The MASTER<X>_DEVICE variable specifies the Ethernet device for a master

    16

    17

# Specify the MAC address (hexadecimal with colons) of the Ethernet device to

    18

# use. Example: "00:00:08:44:ab:66"

    19

#

    20

# The broadcast address "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" has a special meaning: It tells

    21

# the master to accept the first device offered by any Ethernet driver.

    22

#

    23

# The MASTER<X>_DEVICE variables also determine, how many masters will be

    24

# created: A non-empty variable MASTER0_DEVICE will create one master, adding a

    25

# non-empty variable MASTER1_DEVICE will create a second master, and so on.

    46

# unload the usual Ethernet driver modules in the list and replace them with

    47

# the EtherCAT-capable ones. If a certain (EtherCAT-capable) driver is not

    48

# found, a warning will appear.

# Note: The e100, e1000, e1000e, r8169, ccat and igb drivers are not built by

    54

# default. Enable them with the --enable-<driver> configure switches.

    55

#

    56

# Attention: When using the generic driver, the corresponding Ethernet device

    57

# has to be activated (with OS methods, for example 'ip link set ethX up'),

    58

# before the master is started, otherwise all frames will time out.
