Adding ASUS NX1101 to Fedora 8
Hi, I have been using the motherboards ethernet port fine but that was 100Mbs max. I added an ASUS NX1101 (1Gg rather than 100M) and was hoping the system would detect it and let me make use of it, but it didn't happen. As I'm very unfamiliar with adding drivers (I usually just let yum do everything) I found after a little googling that the hardware is recognised, here is the result of lspci:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 741/741GX/M741 Host (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge)
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 25)
00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961/2 SMBus Controller
00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE]
00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)
00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)
00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91)
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Sundance Technology Inc / IC Plus Corp IP1000 Family Gigabit Ethernet (rev 41)
00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940/2940W / AIC-7871
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
Its the Sundance IP1000 entry.
When I use Setup | Network or even the KDE network admin wizard this doen't appear as a device.
I have a vague feeling I need to add or build a module for it but I'm sort of hoping I can keep doing my yum updates and it not break in the future. Anyone any tips please?
