[School-GNU-Linux] details - sis190.c

Hello all,

I had to change two place in the sis190.c file, inorder t make my lan
controller work(p5sd2-vm Asus)

first place was here

   "
        net_probe(tp, KERN_INFO "%s: Read MAC address from APC.\n",
                  pci_name(pdev));

        isa_bridge = pci_get_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, 0x0965, NULL);
        if (!isa_bridge) {
                net_probe(tp, KERN_INFO "%s: Can not find ISA bridge.\n",
                          pci_name(pdev));
                return -EIO;
        }
"

     I changed that 0x0965 to 0x0968 ( to suit my south bridge controller chip,
It was giving messaged as "Can not find ISA bridge"

then i'd to add one line to include my lan controller chip infromation

   "static struct mii_chip_info {
        const char *name;
        u16 id[2];
        unsigned int type;
        u32 feature;
} mii_chip_table[] = {
        { "Broadcom PHY BCM5461", { 0x0020, 0x60c0 }, LAN, F_PHY_BCM5461 },
        { "Agere PHY ET1101B",    { 0x0282, 0xf010 }, LAN, 0 },
        { "Marvell PHY 88E1111",  { 0x0141, 0x0cc0 }, LAN, F_PHY_88E1111 },
        { "Realtek PHY RTL8201",  { 0x0000, 0x8200 }, LAN, 0 },
        { NULL, }"

       on top of "Broadcom PHY BCM5461 added my chip infromation like this


"static struct mii_chip_info {
        const char *name;
        u16 id[2];
        unsigned int type;
        u32 feature;
} mii_chip_table[] = {
        { "Atheros PHY AR8012",   { 0x004d, 0xd020 }, LAN, 0 },
        { "Broadcom PHY BCM5461", { 0x0020, 0x60c0 }, LAN, F_PHY_BCM5461 },
        { "Agere PHY ET1101B",    { 0x0282, 0xf010 }, LAN, 0 },
        { "Marvell PHY 88E1111",  { 0x0141, 0x0cc0 }, LAN, F_PHY_88E1111 },
        { "Realtek PHY RTL8201",  { 0x0000, 0x8200 }, LAN, 0 },
        { NULL, }"

  after making these two changes
                1) changing 0x0965 to 0x0968
                2) add a line "{ "Atheros PHY AR8012",   { 0x004d,
0xd020 }, LAN, 0 },"
                 on top of
                 { "Broadcom PHY BCM5461", { 0x0020, 0x60c0 }, LAN,
F_PHY_BCM5461 },
                 { "Agere PHY ET1101B",    { 0x0282, 0xf010 }, LAN, 0 },
                 { "Marvell PHY 88E1111",  { 0x0141, 0x0cc0 }, LAN, 
F_PHY_88E1111 },
                 { "Realtek PHY RTL8201",  { 0x0000, 0x8200 }, LAN, 0 },
                 { NULL, }"
 then compile the driver file sis190.c  to sis190.ko and insert it
with modprobe sis190 command
 Please note this infromation is for all the guys those confronted
with the similiar
problem, feel free  to mail me for compilied sis190.ko file for kernel
2.6.21-2-686.

                                                    neel joe.
