How To Create The Sis191 Gigabit Ethernet Driver On Linux 2.6
Posted by suvi under Linux, Programming
This how-to is for those people wich have a sis191 gigabit ethernet integrated interface (on-board LAN), but cannot get sis191 default driver working. My Acer Aspire SA90 is one good example.
The Problem
When executing
modprobe sis190
, under a vanilla 2.6.x kernel (mine is 2.6.22 from ubuntu 7.10), you will see this error:
‘Can not find ISA bridge’
And no networking interface will be found. If you’re unlucky, as I was until I bought a PCI network card, you’ll have no network so this how-to will be impossible for you to reach.
