I have one of them on at least one of my PCs (the snippet below is from the box I'm currently using). Mine was set up automatically by the system, I didn't have to do anything special to make it work. [root@bigblack ~]# lspci |grep 900 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 90) I'm wondering whether the problem is external (the ethernet works, but you're not having any luck with what's connected to it). You could try manually configuring it with a fixed IP. And seeing if you, at least, get the interface coming up, even if it doesn't talk to the outside world. What sort of cabling is in use? Straight through or crossed over? Can you try something else? Another problem might be the BIOS. I've had PCs where I've had to play with plug-and-play options, and other kernel parameters, to get all the hardware in working order. If you haven't installed the kernel documentation, you might want to, or google for: kernel-parameters.txt -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
