Re: sis900 NIC failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm having the same problem and have for some time. This is a new series
SIS900 Ethernet controller (rev 91) and the driver in RH 8.0 does not
work with it yet. Others have reported that the latest version of the
driver in the 2.5.46 kernel does work properly. I haven't tried it yet -
if the updated driver could be compiled for the current RH kernel as a
module, I would give it a try for sure.

Cheers,

Chris Williams

    Glad to oblige.  A simple lspci looks correct, as far as I can tell.
    It shows:
