Re: [Linuxptp-users] Which distributions have native ptp support?

[Ledda W. E. <Wil...@it...>]

I'm currently using RH 6.4 with Intel i350 (igb driver) with success (no need to recompile the kernel). About RH 6.5 I know that there will be many improvements, more eth driver supported, and it should include version 1.3 of linuxptp package.

There are a few distro people on this list, but they are all silent :(

I can only say that I use debian or my own SLIM for embedded (github), but on debian I compile my own kernel and also linuxptp.

In general, I think the distros will need more time, since you really want at least kernel 3.5 for ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO, and 3.9 for the latest drivers.

Thanks,
Richard
