Onboard my K7S5A board. Detected without problems and caused none since.

Kernel driver not included by default with Debian 3.0r2 and required kernel recompile.

The sis900 works great with every distro I have tried. On a 10/100 network I always get great speed.

Incredibly reliable piece of hardware. I've got two of them, one on my main system (ECS K7S5A Pro MoBo) and one on my Router/Firewall machine (PC-Chips Irongate based chipset). I've seen transfers between these computers (using FTP) up to 11 Mb/sec (Megabytes) using the NetSpeed applet for the GNOME Desktop Environment.

The best part, it was free!

seemless. sorry to the debian 3.0'r. woody's old.

Works with debian 3.0 too. just tell the installer to load the sis900 module with the installer. sorry you had to recompile for it. i didn't with debian 3.0 or sarge.

Onboard with Asus p4s800.

Works perfectly under RH9.

Only issue is Debian 3.0r2 didn't detect staight away.

Brilliant, no problems with it at all.

worked fine with all disto listed above.

i tried a custom kernel only with slackware 10.0 and worked fine.

all other distros with the default barei kernel.

run smooth.

How did you manage to get the SiS900 to work with Gentoo? I can't get it to regonize it at all, and I have no idea how to install the drivers, much less which drivers. I've found several Linux ones, but all pointing to Red Hat.

Hi.
Mandrake recognized my sis900 ethernet, but I can not connect, previous configuration.

At boot time
eth0 failed message is displayed.

#ping (to the static ip assigned to the NIC) -> works

but

#ping (to gateway) -> does not.

#ifup eth0 -> works

but

#ifdown eth0 -> does not.

#ifconfig eth0 show me errors, collisions and frames.

I had read about this and it means my NIC is not properly correct installed. Is this correct?

Thanks.

Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91)

On gentoo, just compile the kernel with the sis900 network module.

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)

===============================
then I made it more permanent. Opened a terminal window , edited the interfaces file

commented out the 1st line & added a 3rd

(3rd line might need indenting)
saved and closed. then via terminal typed
sis900 card worked after restart
