Dear all, The chipset sis630e built-in a different sis900 with the standalone sis900 ethernet chip. The driver from linux 2.2 will not work with it, only the new linux 2.4.x sis900 driver works with the sis630e . This also leads to the etherboot sis900 driver that Marty wrote's which is based on the linux 2.2 driver. I haven't go through the driver souce yet, but I guess the eeprom is a little different from the standalone sis900 chip. If anyone is interested to find out please go ahead! I think we only need a slight modification with comparison with the difference of the linux 2.2 driver and the linux 2.4 driver and apply those changes to the etherboot driver. The new driver is backward compatible, so it is OK. The sis630e chip is also known as "GFXcel 133" . regards, David |
