Hi I am trying to install DEBIAN ETCH on to a GA-M61VME-S2 based machine, the NIC uses the RTL8201 chipset.
I have used both the AMD64 & i386 images and have the same problem... The install process finds all hardware, including the SATA drive, expect the MOBO NIC. I understand that in the kernel source (2.6.17.11) the RTL8201 is cited in the code for the sis900 modules. I have tried 'modprobe sis900', appears to return the correct values but it's still not working. I have search forums and googled the problem, but to date have found no solution. I am aware that I can install a separate NIC but would prefer using the onboard. An help would be appreciated. Nick
