That one works perfectly; i tried it in the same conditions as
the previous patch, and i don't notice a regression.

sis190-010.patch does not compile properly :

After that, it compiles and works as expected; i can use netconsole
and get local messages on the other box.


There is something wrong whith sis190-020.patch;
it works, i can use the link as usual, i can use
ethtool :

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 100Mb/s
        Duplex: Full

        Auto-negotiation: on
        Current message level: 0x00000037 (55)
        Link detected: yes

But i get those traces in syslog, when the driver is
loaded and every time i use ethtool :

I also tried to set sis190 mode (eg: 10 full autoneg off), but the driver
froze the box.

As for now mii support seems unstable, i do not play further more with 
the media management.
