SiS 900 onboard ethernet - SOLVED

mdemers883 · December 19, 2003

I finally got to ditch my wifi and use my onboard ethernet (onboard SiS 900 pci) but I can't seem to get it up and running. I checked in harddrake and drakconf and it see's it. Here's what I did in terminal to gather information for you guys, what do you think I should do next?

did you check to see if it was enabled in your BIOS?

Yes, it is enabled in the BIOS, I'm not quite sure why it isn't working on Mandrake 9.2

neither am I, I one of these on my motherboard...

although, it is detected and eth0 is up, have you checked to make sure the wires are all good (and connected)?

I'm running my system as a dual boot running GRUB. I have XP Pro and Mandrake 9.2 on this box. My connection works fine on XP so I know the hardware and cables are not the prob. I notice when Mandrake boots up it shows eth0 [FAILED]

interesting...anyone else have an idea?

DragonMage · December 20, 2003

Hmm.. check your /etc/modules if it has a line

alias eth0 sis900

Also check whether the module is loaded. What does

lsmod

say

Also post your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file

Hope this helps you guys out a bit.

DragonMage · December 22, 2003

Hmm.. so the modules are loaded and all. Just cannot seem to find IP. You use dhcp to find ip. So how do you connect your computer to the internet? Is it via a switch router, direct to dsl, direct to cable modem or what?

Also is the network service is on? Check it using mcc -> System -> Drakxservices.

Finally, it seems weird that your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file is different than mine. In particular the NEEDHOSTNAME line. Here is mine which uses usb to ethernet adaptor and static ip.

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.55
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:10:60:dd:c6:b9
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no

illogic-al · December 22, 2003

dunno bout dhcp, i have static lines. drakconnect does the job fine. have you tried it yet?

newbie4ever · December 23, 2003

In addition to enabling the sis900 itself, have you looked for an option for its Boot Rom in the BIOS? That was what I had to do. The output of "ifconfig eth0" should tell you the IRQ in the bottom left corner, and the boot rom can fix that. But if I misunderstood and you tried that already, try using a static ip and making sure it is different from other machines on your LAN. Then ping the other machines. When you can communicate on the LAN,

but if you get stuck on the internet, try different DNS servers related to your ISP (I had the unfortunate experience of having some that did not seem to "like" Linux but worked in windows, but I found another of my ISP's DNSs did work in Linux)

mdemers883 · December 23, 2003

I figured since I didn't have anything better to do I would format the partition and start fresh again with Mandrake 9.2

I'm still using the SiS 900 onboard ethernet. eth0 fails on boot as it did before. I set up the connection for dhcp and it still didn't work. I checked the properties of the device and it was set to start upon boot. I also noticed that its state was "down" so I tried to "activate" it, when I tried that after a pause of about 30 seconds it came back with the reply of "Device or resource busy"

I also ran lspci, uname -r, and dmesg:

any ideas??

mdemers883 · December 27, 2003

also, I was wondering if I need to enter anything in for hostname? Oh, one more thing as well, I think I remember it asking for something like "drakhost" or something like that, does that ring a bell for any of you guys?

Have u installed the apropiate drivers for your nic?

I have an onboard nic under nforce 2, and there are no md 9.2 drivers yet, so I had to compile them myself.

Look on the sis-website and look for drivers like .....src.rpm
