You possibly know about this, but yet I want to make sure, as it is not very easy to find: these German guys of Ingenieurgemeinschaft IgH in Essen have written an interesting open source EtherCAT Master, see http://www.etherlab.org/en/ethercat/index.php. Maybe it can be used in your developments...
Regards, Theo.

See <http://svn.mech.kuleuven.be/websvn/orocos/trunk/ocl/hardware/ethercat-demo/#_trunk_ocl_hardware_ethercat-demo_>
It's still very preliminary code, and based on
ethercatmaster.berlios.de (which we have written ourselves :-)
Your welcome to compare both implementations, or to provide us
feedback using the ethercat part of etherlab, or some components that
use etherlab of course :-)
