this is just to archive the solution for other users who maybe search here for the
same problem.
After a little more searching in the internet i figured the following out: the problem is created by a combination of kernels prior to 2.4.20 and a sis900 revision later than 90
actually woody uses 2.2.20 or in bf24 a version of 2.4.18 which both is prior
to a bug fix in the module code which is needed for later revisions of the card
(in my Amilo-EL is a revision 91 built-in)
to fix this problem simply build a custom kernel 2.4.20 or later with the appropriate module and it should work.

Hi!
over the weekend I tried quiet often to install woody on my Amilo-EL but I
found no way to get the Ethernetdevice to work during the installation.
Using the standart 2.2 Kernel the module was not loadable with no options and using the 2.4 Kernel I could neither find a correspondig module nor did the network work without any module.
Can anybody help me with this??

I'm quite familiar with different Linux distributions but this is my first step to
debian
