SiS191 Gigabit Ethernet not working

[Sulamita Garcia]

Not working on Intrepid Ibex either. It loads sis190 driver, I can see eth0, but I'm unable to connect anything.

Hi I'm using Intrepid Ibex and I ran into this issue with my Asus laptop having a SiS191 Gigabit Ethernet card.
I installed the kernel from Jaunty which solved the issue for me. Kernel version 2.6.28-8 to be precise.

Even then there's still a bug in the sis190 driver itself, it needs a workaround to work properly by setting the MTU to 1024. Don't know exactly why but it works for me.

P.S. Incidently, it also fixed the atheros wireless connection.

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest Karmic 9.10 release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If the issue remains, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) while running Karmic. It
will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report.

apport-collect -p linux 329916

Thanks in advance

I'm not experiencing any problems anymore running Karmic x64.
