Hi Richard,
I have the same board k7s5a with onboard sound and network.
I have MDK8.2 installed and it configured my nic on install but I had
troubles with sound. Thanks! to your link I'm going to attempt to get my
sound working again. Anyways I'm a newbie so can't help much but heres some
info from my system. Also all I have in my /etc/modules is the same as you
scsi_hostadapter, but did notice the nic was in my /etc/modules.conf as below
shows.I did notice that the HOWTO's and mine were IRQ 5 and your "dmesg" say's
IRQ 11 I'm not sure if that makes a difference as long as there is not a
conflict somewhere.
(This is from "dmesg")
is900.c: v1.08.02 11/30/2001
PCI: Assigned IRQ 5 for device 00:03.0
eth0: Realtek RTL8201 PHY transceiver found at address 1.
eth0: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default
eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xdc00, IRQ 5, 00:07:95:27:f8:d4.
(Further down in "dmesg")
eth0: Media Link On 10mbps half-duplex
(This is what Harddrake shows)
Vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
Model: SiS900 10/100 Ethernet
Kernel Module: sis900
Bus Type: PCI
(This is what "ethtool" shows)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mike]# ethtool -i eth0
driver: sis900
version: v1.08.02 11/30/2001
firmware-version:
bus-info: 00:03.0
(This is what is in my /etc/modules.config)
alias eth0 sis900
