On Board NIC Toubles with RH 8


Hi everyone,

Here is the link to the problem I have:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla...ug.cgi?id=77258

Apparently the Kernel on the install CD if Redhat 8 only supports sis <= 962.

I have a p4s8x with onboard sis 963 nic.

I followed a howto on installing a new kernel, but I failed miserably. I am very new to linux.

So I was wondering if anyone knew an easier fix. There are 2 attached files in the above link. sis900.c and sis900.h apparently I can compile .c and get a .o ??


I only know this from reading around. So I have no idea how this could be done.

I am trying to avoid buying a new NIC.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

-R

change directory to where the .c and .h files are and try "make sis900.o"

if that doesn't work, try searching for the module compile guide at http://tldp.org (i know there is one, can't remember where though)

otherwise, these may be files to replace in the kernel source before compiling.
