Hi friends
I am a Danish teacher using UDPcast to clone the workstations on the school. I have used UDP-cast for several years and have been very happy about it. Now we have upgraded our computer system with 22 new workstations - and then I got my problem:
The machines network card is omboard end uses the linux module r1000. It is a Realtek RTL8168/RTL8111. Realtek have made a GPL driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&...
And I found a RPM for my Fedora core 6 that works perfectly at http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/3743377/com/dkms-r1000-1.05-1.no...
But I can't use UDP-cast to clone the mashine. Now I have 2 questions: 1) Is there a way I can put the driver into UDPcast? 2) Are you planning to include a driver for my networkcard soon?
I hope you keep developing UDP-cast :-)
Good night Gunner Poulsen

UPDATE: The netcard works fine with the r8169 driver provided with kernel 2.6.19.1 (Testet in the new updates-kernel for Fedora core 6 and the newest Knoppix) but it don't work with the r8169-driver in 2.6.17 (in udpcast) or 2.6.18.
So my prayer is: Pleace update to 2.6.19 as soon as posible :-) Are you planning to do so? How long time should I prepare to wait?
Happy development Gunner Poulsen

Ganymede has heard your prayer ;-) There is now a 2.6.19.2 kernel on the udpcast site
