Re: [Linuxptp-users] Issues with linuxptp and Intel 82574

Currently I'm working with RH 6.4 kernel 2.6.32-358.2.1. It has full support for PTP and PHC, and it works fine with igb driver 4.0.1-k

So it seems that Scientific Linux 6.4 is a rebranded RedHat Enterprise 6.4, and RedHat has back ported the PHC subsystem to 2.6.32.

I couldn't find a git tree for RedHat's kernel, so it is hard to say anything about this port. Remember that 3.0 is like 2.6.40, so the port was probably not too easy, and there could very well be bugs.

Thanks,
