my pc.conf : AMD64 2800+,Asus K8S-MX
the motherboard has an onboard ethernetcontroller: SiS 190 / 191
anybody with this m/b and managed to get ethernetworking??? I tried gentoo-64-(univ.cd),Ubunto-64 but couldnt find aprop. drivers.. SiS190.c is there in kernel sourcetree.. upto 2.6.5 but i couldnt see it after that.. I installed gentoo anyway.. and also FC3 (recompiled kernel 2.6.11.11) .. but some how I feel its not as fast as it shud be.. sadly though, winXP runs decently fast..
The performance is slow..coz ..dma is not enabled. ..issue is with the ide-controller...
try "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda"
if you get "operation not permitted"...then u`ll have to recompile the kernel...with the sis5513 support built in rather than a loadable module...if recompiling doesn`t work then u`ll have to make some changes in the driver source. try this...if it works..if not, then then let me know..i`ll tell u the changes...
as for the ethernet ..there seems to be issue with the support...in my case only SuSE 9.3 was able to detect it...dont remember the exact driver name....
