 distro, ubuntu edgy, sis900 (onboard ethernet ) lspci :00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91) I had a problem where the network card wouldn't acquire an IP address from the router, something to do with the card's designated mac address. A bit of google scratching fixed it (see below). this worked for me (using 2 lines in terminal)
Quote:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:E0:18:B3:A0:F7 sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Quote:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
, edited the interfaces file commented out the 1st line & added a 3rd
Quote:
#auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 00:E0:18:B3:A0:F7
(3rd line might need indenting) saved and closed. then via terminal typed
Quote:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sis900 card worked after restart http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/
