Hi there! 

I stil fighting with my system....  now I beleive that having sis900 
ethernet on my board (ECS K7SEM) may be not a good idea 

This motherboard has a realtek controler onboard and Sis730 chipset, wich 
comes with sis900 inside. So , really I have 2 lan controlers: 


00:01.1 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 
Ethernet (rev 82)
       Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
       I/O ports at 2400 [size=256]
       Memory at 88000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
       Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
       Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 

00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 
10)
       Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RT8139
       Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
       I/O ports at 2800 [size=256]
       Memory at 88004000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
       Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]
       Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 


The original BIOS flash disables somehow the sis900 , so I don't see it in 
the lspci...... 

In src/northsouthbridge/sis/730/southbridge.c on line 262 i found this code: 

       pcidev = pci_find_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, 0x0900, (void *)NULL);
       if (pcidev != NULL) {
               u32 bar0 = 0xb001;
               // set the BAR 0 to 0xb000. Safe, high value, known good.
               // pci config set doesn't work for reasons we don't 
understand.
               pci_write_config_dword(pcidev, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0, bar0); 


I replaced it by: 

       pcidev = pci_find_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, 0x0900, (void *)NULL);
//      if (pcidev != NULL) {
       if (0) {
               u32 bar0 = 0xb001;
               // set the BAR 0 to 0xb000. Safe, high value, known good.
               // pci config set doesn't work for reasons we don't 
understand.
               pci_write_config_dword(pcidev, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0, bar0); 


but the controler wasn't disabled.... how do I disable it?
