What have you done to not get it to work.  I have two systems that use
the SiS900 and it didn't even hiccup.  Maybe there's something wrong
with your system.  I generally have problems with the windows before I
have problems with Linux.  I load windows, then linux, then download the
driver through linux and then install it on windows. 

Redhat or Suse no problem.

Hi Peter,

In my original posting, I stated that I have never gotten the NIC driver

(SiS 900) to work under any of the Linux flavors that I have tried, yet 
it works fine under Win 98 SE. I still believe that the SiS 900 driver 
is at fault and that this is not an "upstream" problem. That doesn't 
mean that I am not willing to try something if you can explain to me in 
more detail what you are thinking about. I can also try to forward some 
of the correspondence to you, that I have had in trying to get other 
Linux flavors to work, if this would help to underline why I think that 
this is a driver problem. Feel free to put in your two cents here, I 
have to admit that I am pretty much lost at sea.

Cheers,

Brian
