Driver for SIS900 NIC

I have Asus P4S533 motherboard that integrates Ethernet chipset. QNX 6.1 or
6.2 detects (I tried both with the same results) SIS 900 chip and installs
devn-sis9.so driver. However, it doesn’t communicate properly. I can ping,
activate ftp or telnet from this computer but I cannot communicate from the
other computer. I can ping this computer but telnet freezes after a few
commands and ftp doesn’t work at all. Does devn-sis9.so driver support all
versions of SIS 900 chip? Any suggestions will be appreciate.

No, this version of the SiS900 controller is not yet supported, as you can
see by the MAC address being all zeroes. We are waiting on documentation
from SiS before we can implement the changes.
