    I am using the following hookup on the ethernet shield to the nrf+:
    A2 --> MISO
    A1 --> MOSI
    A0 --> SCK
    6 --> CSN
    5 --> CE

        I had read that. But, to be honest I could not make heads or tails about what the posters said did or did not work. There was no definitive answer on that thread. Some said try pins x/y/z and other said to try a/b/c. Yet, no one said "hey, this actually works". Closest was the comment by spugna85. But, looking at the v2 libraries it was already done (hence me using A0-2 pins).

          @wergeld - ok, to bad :( give google search a go, it might help you find other threads.
          I cant help you more, not a mega user myself. By the way, ethernet gw works great on Uno or Nano as well.

            Yea, by my UNO is used for templating projects for my slimNode. I am only making the ethernet gateway because the direct-connection of the nrf to the RPi is not yet supporting v2 library. Just seems silly to include extra hardware (uno/mega and ethernet shield) when the RPi has GPIO and the nrf can be connected to it. I am using domoticz on the RPi using serial gateway but only with v1.4.

              Try with following defines and wire accordingly:

              #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
              #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53

                Builds and still I get the error:

                  I have this error also with a ENC28J60 module.
                  I have used the 1.6.8/9 and 11 ide but that doesn't matter.
                  This was on an Nano by the way.

                    My gateway is based on a mega 2560 with following wiring:

                    40 CE
                    51 MOSI
                    50 MISO
                    52 SCK
                    53 CSN

                    and the defines from above:

                    #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
                    #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53
                    

                    Do you have this wiring?

                      @FotoFieber, no. As I stated above this is my wiring:

                      A2 --> MISO
                      A1 --> MOSI
                      A0 --> SCK
                      6 --> CSN
                      5 --> CE
                      

                      When I changed CSN/CE to the 2 pins you mentioned above it was and I was still getting this error:

                      A2 --> MISO
                      A1 --> MOSI
                      A0 --> SCK
                      53 --> CSN
                      40 --> CE
                      

                      To use your wiring I would need to modify the rest of the pin definitions in the code, yes?

                        Wiring like this does not apply for the Mega 2056

                        A2 --> MISO
                        A1 --> MOSI
                        A0 --> SCK

                        If you see from here -> https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/file/view/Mega2-900.jpg/421499040/Mega2-900.jpg

                        Pinout for Mega 2056:
                        51 MOSI
                        50 MISO
                        52 SCK

                        You need to change your wiring.
