Sorry, no, I never used RTnet interface in kernel-space. I seem to
recall not all functions may be called from all contexts (for
instance, calling socket may work from the init module, but not from
a real-time thread or vice versa), but apart from that, I have no
clue. The best answer at this point would be "use the source, Luke".
