I've recently purchased a ECS K7SEM+ mATX board based on the SiS740
integrated chipset with onboard NIC.

Unfortunaly this version is not working with 4-STABLE - if anyone would be
kind enough to help me out with this I would deeply appreciate it.

DMESG info:
sis0: <SiS 900 10/100BaseTX> port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xcffdb000-0xcffdbfff
irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci0
sis0: Ethernet address: 00:0a:e6:40:75:80
sis0: MII without any PHY!
device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6

pciconf -lv:
none1@pci0:4:0: class=0x020000 card=0x09001039 chip=0x09001039 rev=0x90
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)'
device = 'SiS900 Fast Ethernet/Home Networking Ctrlr'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

My kernel config contains (also) the following:
device miibus # MII bus support
device sis # Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900/SiS
7016
device miibus0

If anyone capable of looking into this need any more info - please do let me
know.

As I know there's problem in 4.0's sis code, try upgrade to 4.3 or
higher. I'm using this sis900 on sis730s chipset without problem. I'm
still using 4.4 because 4.3 can't detect my sis7018 sound card.

I'm using 4-STABLE (newest stable code in the 4. tree) so that would put me
between 4.7 and 4.8 :)

I see now that I was wrong - I'm using 4.7-STABLE - RELENG_4.

Sorry - but the NIC still doesn't work :)

it does not work in freebsd 5.0 current since an update in january 17th
2003 on an jvc MP-XP7210 with the same message.

some changes in the drivers seemed to be made at about that date,
because it worked like a charm before :(
