Hello,

The driver is based on linux driver , and R1000 driver of this forum (Thank's DaemonES)

The driver is working !! (I'm connected with ! on Tiger)

but you can help because I have only one SiS900 at home and it's one with the RLT8201 PHY transmitter.

you can test the driver by downloading the zip and start by clicking on "myload.command".
Next you have to put the dmesg log in a file and post it on the board.

Thank's

Big thanks for this driver!

[sharkc]

Wonderful driver.
Works like a charm for me.

Info:

Installation: Kalyway 10.5.2
Motherboard: Asus P4S800D (SiS chipset of the southgate bus [responsible for ethernet] is SiS 964 with SiS 900 for ethernet + Realtek)

So, works for leopard

How did you make that driver from linux driver??

I would like to try with other chips that have no driver for mac but have for linux...

Thanks for the patch  I run it on leopard 10.5.3 and it worked.  The only problem I have to run your command every time after reboot.  Is there any way to make thiss permanent?

Thank you in advance,

Alex

[thesmart1]

can you explain more on how to install the driver please

Where to begin??? (netwarrior)

Nice attempt, well thought out, could have been planned a little better and separated into 2 separate classes but a very solid base to work from.

I took the liberty of redoing the project and cleaning it up a little.

You match on the raw device however it appears that there are two different subsystem ID's corresponding to two seperate device chipset and it might have been better to use this information to identify the driver class to use rather than using all of that code to detect which chipset is included and then use the appropriate code but splitting it into two classes isn't a requirement.

I changed the way the project builds and populates the Info.plist so anyone looking at the project wont be so confused by the tree, changed the class name to SiS900, added some comments and added comments to the original linux files which are listed in the project and thus available from within XCode so they can be used as references material.

Removed SiS900_reg.h (duplication wasn't necessary in this case) and using the linux header file was the method selected.

I see you tried to build this as a universal binary however the exclusive use of i386/pio.h prevents a useable compilation for ppc and I don't believe you will find a ppc machine with these cards so I made the project i386 only for all configuration.

I'd like to help you improve this project and hope you are not offended in what I've done with your project.

Here is the archive, go over it and see if it looks any better to you, if so add it to your first post and it can be the base project for all future changes.

Hello ,

Ho nice to see someone using this driver , ... I wrote this driver in 3 days :/
so it wasn't really clean , now I can't help because I broken my computer , you can create a new Topic with your file
because I am not here really often and i can't change the main post each times you update the driver .

I hope you to make this driver working with all Physical transmiters (I'm sur that will be done in few hours of coding )

Good luck
Bye!

buildsmart dont be a fag if you dont wanna help me fine with me but keep ur fuc8   mouth shut and keep going on with your life............
