 |
|
I am unable to get the ethernet working on a Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile v5535.
My card:
| Code: | # lspci
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02) |
sis190 module gets loaded:
| Code: | # lsmod
Module Size Used by
sis190 20036 0
mii 6912 1 sis190 |
Nevertheless, the ethernet devices does not show on ifconfig. This is the relevant dmesg info:
| Code: | sis190 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:04.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:04.0 to 64
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
0000:00:04.0: Read MAC address from APC.
0000:00:04.0: Can not find ISA bridge.
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:04.0 disabled
sis190: probe of 0000:00:04.0 failed with error -5 |
I have found in google the following suggestion, but it does not solve the issue:
| Code: | | echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout |
Any hints would be appreciated.

I have found this page, giving some clues on what to do.
One of the errors given by dmesg was:
| Code: | | 0000:00:04.0: Can not find ISA bridge |
My ISA bridge device number is:
| Code: | # lspci -nn
00:02.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS968 [MuTIOL Media IO] [1039:0968] (rev 01) |
I have had a look into the module sis190.c in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net, and the ISA bridge device number of my board does not appear.
| Code: | # grep -C 10 isa_bridge sis190.c
isa_bridge = pci_get_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, 0x0965, NULL);
if (!isa_bridge)
isa_bridge = pci_get_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, 0x0966, NULL);
if (!isa_bridge) {
net_probe(tp, KERN_INFO "%s: Can not find ISA bridge.\n",
pci_name(pdev));
return -EIO;
} |
If I change the number from 0965 to my board number (0968) and recompile the kernel, I do not get the ISA error any more, but I am getting another error:
| Code: | # dmesg | grep -C 10 sis190
sis190 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:04.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:04.0 to 64
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@linux.intel.com>
0000:00:04.0: Read MAC address from APC.
0000:00:04.0: Unknown PHY transceiver at address 1 |
I would very much appreciate any help on how to get the ethernet card working. |

I have finally been able to get my sis191 card working by patching the kernel. I have taken the patch from Francois Romieu in bugzilla kernel.
I have saved the diff file in /usr/src/linux, and then applied the patch with:
| Code: | | patch -p1 -i [i]patchfile[/i] |
I recompiled the kernel and it worked. |
