|
<P>If your board came with the optional on-board LAN card, you have a Silicon
|
|
Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Fast Ethernet card, this card is
|
|
supported by Linux kernels 2.4 and later (that I know of, as I only use 2.4
|
|
kernels).
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>To make it work you should type
|
|
<P><EM>modprobe sis900</EM>
|
|
<P>and you should see something like this in your syslog:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
sis900.c: v1.08.02 11/30/2001
|
|
eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd400, IRQ 5, 00:d0:09:ea:7a:98.
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>or type
|
|
<P><EM>dmesg | less</EM> and scroll to see the kernel messages.
|
|
<P>If everything went fine, you may add <CODE>sis900</CODE> to <CODE>/etc/modules</CODE>
|
|
so it will autoload everytime you boot:
|
|
<P><EM>echo "sis900" >> /etc/modules</EM>
|
|
<P>(or <EM>echo "alias eth0 sis900" >> /etc/modutils/aliases && update-modules</EM> for the module to be loaded when needed, go for that if you have a Debian system)
|
|
<P><B>Pay attention to the double >, or you will have troubles :]</B>
|
|
<P>or compile it in your kernel, where you should say Y to <CODE>SiS 900/7016 PCI
|
|
Fast Ethernet Adapter support</CODE> in your kernel
|
|
configuration.
