Dropped support for ethercat igc?

[grandixximo]

I went to do an update to my ECI setup, checking the difference for the ethercat.conf
seems like the igc drive has been removed from the Possible Values?
Why is this? i225 IGC is still listed as recommended hardware in the 3.3 docs

Why is support being dropped? why are you removing components that you previously recommended, has there been any notice about this?

Hi Grandixximo,

Thanks for reaching out. I will escalate this to our engineering team to get clarification on the removal of the igc driver from the EtherCAT configuration. We are investigating whether this change was intentional and if there are any recommended alternatives. I’ll provide an update as soon as I receive more details. Please let me know if you have any specific concerns in the meantime.

Regards,

Aznie

Hi Aznie,
Thank you for your reply, the only concern is about the igc drive situation, and if there is/was any blog or newsletter that I missed about this, it's not really enticing to use something for which support could be dropped without notice.
