Hello, is there a driver in the works for SIS190/191 NIC? This NIC appears in at least one new(er) SiS chipset (SiS 965). I found out SiS provides driver for Linux and it's also included in the newest Linux kernel. The driver is of course GPL'd and I wasn't able to find the programming guide mentioned in the SiS version of the driver. Not that I would be able to write a driver based on it in short time I have before the machines will go into production. The chip is probably quite different to sis(4) - I tried just adding the PCI ID of the card to the driver but it doesn't attach correctly. The drivers for SiS900/7016 (which is supported by sis(4) on FreeBSD) and SiS190/191 are completely separate on Linux. Of course I've searched the Internet and maling list archives but I think I've only found one mention of the card not working for someone in FreeBSD. Thank you Michal
