Did you try

Code:

modprobe sis190

to load the module and then use whatever utility FC has to configure the nic?

Check the 6th line of the /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf (whatever your distro uses) to see if it uses the correct options statement for this module. Perhaps you can even remove (comment out) the 6th line to see if the module is loaded by the kernel.
