| 218995 | 2004-03-03 00:53:00 | The DSE Router comes with 2 CD's. One is for various Lan drivers & the other is for USB drivers (the Router also has a USB port). There are instructions about Linux on both discs. My motherboard is ECS L4S5MG3/GX+ Chipset: SiS650GX/SiS962L I have been trying Linux for several years now, & stiill havn't got it all to work ;) |

| 218996 | 2004-03-03 01:12:00 | Yes, if the ethernet card isn't running the router won't react. It's got no-one to talk to,. My laptop has a SiS900 LAN onboard. It is recognised by dmesg. But it doesn't work . (I have got a driver). When I plug in a 3Com PC Card 3c509x it works. :D Windows Me on the same machine says the Sis900 is working , but Hardware Manager says everything works. :D |

| 218997 | 2004-03-03 02:17:00 | "sis900 linux" to Google will show two drivers available. Both are by SiS, and the most recent (Mar 4, 2000) is optimized for RH6. ;-) It might work for you. :D |

I have a ASUS mobo (P4PE) in one of my machines with onboard lan (Broadcom) and they kindly provided Linux drivers for the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. They also provided Linux sound drivers. I haven't tried them as that machine is not running Linux. Worth a look in case you already have the drivers. |

| 219000 | 2004-03-05 05:25:00 | Have you had a look on your motherboard CD? Thanks Jen C, I wish it were so. Plenty of drivers for all flovours of windows but no Linux on the CD |

| 219001 | 2004-03-05 05:57:00 | Hey, Don't confuse gateway's address with router's address, they are two seperate IPs. The router works off your lan, the gateway is virtual it just tells the system that all Internet/Network addresses should go here first that's why it's netmask is 0.0.0.0 the router should be 255.255.255.0 because it's part of the network. The first command I said ifconfig eth0, is to test if you had a network card being detected if there was an error then the other commands won't work, you can also try eth1. If you can't locate the drivers for your motherboard, and you really want to try Linux, it might be easier to just buy a network card, they're under $15. Noel Nosivad. |

| 219002 | 2004-03-05 07:25:00 | Noel, I copied the setting from my windows XP. Here is the paste from AIDA [ SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter ] Network Adapter Properties: Network Adapter SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Interface Type Ethernet Hardware Address 00-E0-06-09-55-66 Connection Name Local Area Connection Connection Speed 100 Mbps MTU 1500 bytes DHCP Lease Obtained 3/4/2004 1:20:59 PM DHCP Lease Expires 11/30/2006 4:21:32 PM Network Adapter Addresses: IP / Subnet Mask 192.168.1.209 / 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.1.2 DHCP 192.168.1.2 Network Adapter Manufacturer: Company Name Silicon Integrated Systems Corporation Product Information www.sis.com Driver Download http://download.sis.com When I do an interactive boot eth0 and the sound both report failed so the router is not getting detected. I downloaded a driver written for Red hat 6. but the install instructions specify a directory not present in Mandrake and so far I havent been able to install it. I checked up on a NIC from DSE but only the more expensive ones have Linux Drivers on the CD. |

The cheap ones work just fine under Linux natively - like this one (www.dse.co.nz). The system will detect and automatically load the correct drivers (Realtek 8139 [RTL8139]). You shouldn't need to install any drivers yourself. |

| 219004 | 2004-03-06 03:27:00 | I probably will install another NIC. In the meantime I'm going to download Mandrake 10 and try that. Its possible the problem may be resolved with the new update. Ill be back in a week to post results. Thanks for all the responses I appreciate the help. |
