Not sure if the mssage below got through, soory if it some how comes 
through multiple times, I think I had the wrong address....

So I got SM installed on my laptop, I had to use the harddrive transplant 
method as the laptop has no external drives.

So far so good, it boots up on its own. I am unable to get the built in 
ethernet working however.  I am pretty sure it is based on the sis900 
chip, which I have compiled a module for. When I do a `modprobe sis900` I 
get (paraphrased):

...sis900.o : init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
....



So first question is, Are there tools in the base install which would let 
me list the pci bus and try to find out what is on what IRQ? Can this be 
done through /proc?

Second, I see a lot mention of IRQ 11 being found and being shared in 
dmesg. Is it possible a shared IRQ is causing the problem? The BIOS in 
zero help interms of giving an IRQ listing at start up or allow me to 
disable internal components.

Would I be better off just trying to get my wireless PC Card working first?
