the sis190 linux kernel module

the sis190 linux kernel module

[Sampsa Riikonen]

Dear Francois,

>From the maintainers file I found out that you are the
developer of the sis190 network kernel module.

First of all, thank you very much for writing
this module.  I would like to report a problem
I encountered with it.

My network card is

SiS 191 Gigabit ethernet adapter (rev 02)

With the latest kernel (2.6.22.17-0.1-default),
and using OpenSuse 10.3 I get the following errors:

--------------------

Is there a driver available for the sis191 card or
should the sis190 driver do the work?

Could this be a distribution specific problem?

Though far from perfect, the sis190 should (and has actually
been reported to) do the work.

The driver in 2.6.22.something is too old. Please upgrade.
