Woops, you're right, my bad. The manual is obvisouly correct.

You should use :

ETHERCAT_VERSION = 3.3
ETHERCAT_SITE = http://foobar.com/somewhere/
ETHERCAT_SOURCE = ethercat-$(ETHERCAT_VERSION).tar.bz2

> ETHERCAT_SITE = file:///home/user1/Desktop/EtherCAT4Atmel/
> etherlabmaster.tar.bz2

Why are you using a local directory ? You *really* should be using a
tarball available from http or ftp so that you can later contribute
your package to Buildroot.

Thanks,

Thomas
