Yes, that firmware is ancient:UNIT = 1A000005 means its the 5th
7I76E ever made and probably has never had its firmware updated,
the "hm2/hm2_7i76e.0: Smart Serial Firmware Version 42" does date from 2014 or so.

Thanks again for your help everyone.
I suspected the 1A000005 might have been important...
How do I find and install the new firmware?
I assume there is a mesaflash function that writes it to the card?
I have also aquired a pcie wireless lan card to replace my usb wifi. Hopefully it might help with my networking issues. I will have a play after work.
Cheers,
Simon : )

Yes, you fetch 7i67e.zip from Mesa and extract 7i76e_7i76x1D.bit
from the configs/hostmot2 directory. Then from the local directory containing
7i76e_7i76x1D.bit, you run:
mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --write 7i76e_7i76x1D.bit
and then either power cycle the card or run:
mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --reload
from the configs/hostmot2 directory. Then from the local directory containing
7i76e_7i76x1D.bit, you run:
mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --write 7i76e_7i76x1D.bit
and then either power cycle the card or run:
mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --reload

Bingo! That went like clockwork.
Now all there is to do is everything...
Thanks so much for your time everyone : )
(I'm sure you will hear from me again)

Yes, very possibly. I suggest expunging it and installing "nm-tray" which will bring in network-manager to replace it. As soon as I did that on my test PC it started working with 7i80 and Widi siultaneously, which had previously been impossible.
POSIX realtime is good, that means that you are running the preempt-rt kernel.
Other options are POSIX non-realtime (standard kernel) and LXRT realtime (user-space realtime with an RTAI or Xenomai kernel. If you are running RTAI in kernel mode then there is no message at all.

I can now connect with mesaflash using 10.10.10.10. I wonder if my problems might be coming from Wicd network

But, linuxcnc is still not loading...I did just notice the line: "Note: Using POSIX realtime"
is this my problem? Does it need to be preemp rt kernel for the 7i76e?
