Greetings, I am trying to get my SiS900 10/100 onboard ethernet to work with ML 9.0. I came across a howto at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/K7s5a-HOWTO and typed 'dmesg | less' as they suggested. I get three lines for eth0 as follows: eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 1. eth0: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xdc00, IRQ 11, 00:0a:e6:4d:21:62
My question is this. If the PHY transceiver is unknown (I assume this is the network chip) then how can ML identify it two lines later? The howto also states that I can add sis900.o to etc/modules "if everything goes ok." When I look at etc/modules the only item in there is scsi_hostadapter. I suppose the short question is really do I have a good chip on this mb or not? tia R ----- Richard L.
