OK - here's the output of the lspci -v -v command regarding the SIS-900 series (963) Ethernet controller:

00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Ethernet (rev 91)
        Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 80a7

        Region 1: Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Expansion ROM at ef6c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]

                Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

I'm not sure what the Unknown Device 80a7 means, but this seems to be consistent with the errors I get at startup when trying to load this device. Manually setting the IRQ did not help. Insmod reports back roughly the same error as I recall. Could this be where the problem is?

Cheers,

Chris

All the SIS-900's I have owned have been onboard PCI bus 
devices, and so the information should be readily available 
for the kernel to discern without explicit settings.  A 
Bugzilla with a     lspci -v -v    may be necessary to get 
the bios strings to key on into the mainline distribution.
