+
+3) Build the EtherCAT master and network device driver modules:
+
+  $ make
+
+4) Install the the EtherCAT master (as root):
+
+  # make install
+
+  This will create the following files and directories:
+    - /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)
+    - /etc/init.d/ethercat    (startup script)
+    - /usr/sbin/rcethercat    (link to startup script)

+  The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/<KERNEL>/kernel/drivers/net
+  (where <KERNEL> is the Linux kernel version configured in ethercat.conf).
