SIS 900 Failure

cmarkides · 02-13-2003, 02:50 AM

I am running Linux 8 with SIS 900 ethernet card. The card fails on initialisiation, but works fine when the card is set on 10Mbps and activated.

How do I set the card to initialise at 10Mbps?

Thank you,
Chris

What is Linux 8

Perhaps you aren't getting the module loaded?

Examine /etc/modules.conf (possibly, some distros use another config file) and look for the module. Here is mine from a Redhat 7.3 installation.

Code:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 sis900
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller usb-ohci
alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci
alias usb-controller2 usb-uhci
alias usb-controller3 ehci-hcd
alias sound-slot-0 cs46xx
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

I am running RedHat Linux 8, the module is loaded correctly, but the network operates at 10Mbps, whereas the card negotiates at 100Mbps. This is what I want to change.
