Updated instructions:

# install the Dovetail Automata signing key package
wget 
http://deb.dovetail-automata.com/pool/main/d/dovetail-automata-keyring/dovetail-automata-keyring_0.1-1~wheezy1_all.deb
dpkg -i dovetail-automata-keyring_0.1-1~wheezy1_all.deb

# configure the archive and update package indexes
echo 'deb http://deb.dovetail-automata.com wheezy main' > \
     /etc/apt/sources.list.d/machinekit.list"
sudo apt-get update

# install the Xenomai kernel and headers; pick the command
# applicable to your situation
#
# amd64 architecture:
apt-get install \
     linux-image-xenomai.x86-amd64 \
     linux-headers-xenomai.x86-amd64
# i386 architecture:
apt-get install \
     linux-image-xenomai.x86-i686-pae \
     linux-headers-xenomai.x86-i686-pae
# Beaglebone:
apt-get install \
     linux-image-xenomai.beaglebone-omap \
     linux-headers-xenomai.beaglebone-omap

If you have an r8168 NIC in your PC, see 
/etc/modprobe.d/r816x_blacklist.conf to enable that driver and disable 
the r8169.
