Description:
|
sis900.c: v1.08.06 9/24/2002
Onboard, detected at once, without need to configure or anything on Slack 9.1. (2.4.22, bare.i)
Works like a charm.

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!

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.

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

distro, ubuntu edgy, sis900 (onboard ethernet )

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
|
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac
===============================
then I made it more permanent. Opened a terminal window
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
