undetected eth0 quick question

hejduk · 03-06-2002, 04:05 PM

Hi,

I have a SiS900 PCI NIC. My problem is that probing cannot detect this card. In my rc.modules file there are no entries for this card. Am I screwed?

I also use a sis900 which is integrated into my ASUS mainboard.

Try modprobe sis900
and can you load other modules?
You may need new modutils (2.4 kernels) or mod-init-utile (2.6 kernels)

I don't think you are screwed.
I was able to get mine working with 2.6.6 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 kernels using the sis900 module.
find the option in networking -> 100MBPS Fast Ethernet or something

I can't get /dev/eth0 to appear.
stat returns no such file or directory

what are the major and minor numbers for mknodding eth0?

use
dmesg | grep Ether
to see what is detected
and post it here
