I have a Redhat 8.0 server running on a systems with an onboard SiS 900 adapter. During the installation of the systems, Redhat 8.0 had no problem detecting the adapter and enabling it. What I have had problems with is the adapter shutting down for no apparent reason. For that reason, I am going to disable the SiS 900 and install a differnet network adapter. This has been my experience with the SiS 900 for what it's worth.
