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 FROM: Jon Lido DATE: 09/25/2001 20:10:17 SUBJECT: kern/30836: Chipset SiS735 / NIC SiS 900 =20 >Number: 30836 >Category: kern >Synopsis: Chipset SiS735 / NIC SiS 900 >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: =20 >Keywords: =20 >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Sep 25 20:20:01 PDT 2001 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jon Lido >Release: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE i386 >Organization: >Environment: FreeBSD bombilla 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Tue Sep 18 11:57:08 PDT 2001 <EMAIL: PROTECTED>:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC >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. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to <EMAIL: PROTECTED> with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
