Hi,

  I just upgraded to the ECS K7S5A Athlon M/B (SiS-735 based) and was
trying to get the onboard SiS900 ethernet adapter working.  It works
fine on 2.4.5, but when I try to get it going under 2.4.10, the only
thing I see happening is the number of xmit dropped increases in
ifconfig and dmesg revels a NETDEV WATCHDOG transmit timeout:

Oct  9 12:31:06 bergsoft kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed
out
Oct  9 12:31:06 bergsoft kernel: eth0: Transmit timeout, status 00000005
00000000 

 I noticed that there were some changes in sis900.c put in for the
Realtek PHY (which is what is on thie board), but it was supposed to be
a FIX ;).

 I also have a good-ole' DEC 21140AE that works perfectly under both
2.4.10 and 2.4.5.  

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

 Thanks,
  Seth
