SiS900

Well, anybody that has seen my previous mandrake threads knows that I've never been able to get my SiS900 onboard ethernet to work with mandrake. I tried in 9.1 and 9.2 but with little success.

 

Recently I've been using SuSE9.0 with no problems, was running smoothly. I"m still a linux noob, but I'm better than I used to be. So I was a bit bored today and already had the mandrake 10 ISO's downloaded so I figured I might as well give it a try.

 

Eth0 failed on boot (always happens to me :lol: ) So I think configured it in harddrake. After restarting the network and restarting X it still wouldn't work. So, now I have to ask you guys for help...as usual ;)

 

Here is the output of lspci:

If I remember correctly I'm running the new 2.6 kernel. Any ideas of how I should approach getting my connection to work? As always, any help is appreciated.

I don't know if this works or if you've tried it but I recently installed MDK 10 CE on my machine (AMD 1700+ on a ECS K7S5A board (has a SIS 900 NIC onboard)) and the Network worked fine I then wiped the machine (to dual boot win2k (so that I could run Auto Gordian Knot)) and installed MDK 9.2. When I installed 9.2 the network did not work until I turned off ACPI in services and in LILO. I guess something in ACPI in the 2.4 Kernel conflicts with the SIS 900 (Works fine in the 2.6 kernel and windoze)
