I've been having the same problem listed below and was wondering if
anyone had a fix?
If so that would save me from ripping apart my machine again to
sacrifice a PCI slot to a 3crap NIC.

Thanks in advance,

-John

>Description:
The SiS 900 Driver cant read the ethernet-address
from the all-in-one-chipset SiS735.
Ethernet-Address will always be 0:0:0:0:0:0.

This problem seems very similar to problem report kern/21623, but with
the SiS 735 chipset instead of the SiS 630E.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE on a ECS K7S5A motherboard (an SiS 735
chipset)
with integrated NIC.
>Fix:
None yet.

I tried using the special case in if_sis.c for the SiS 630:
sis_read_cmos(sc, dev, (caddr_t)&eaddr, 0x9, 6);

This resulted in an ethernet address (don't know if the address is
valid),
but it still can't find the PHY.  dmesg says:
sis0: Ethernet address: 00:d0:09:f4:7b:cf
sis0: MII without any PHY!

So this may not be related to the situation with the SiS 630.
