And keep looking the output of the dhclient command. Send the output of

say it's a problem with this module (sis900) and compile a newer kernel,
but you'll have to transfer it using some CD-R or floppy disks
(sic)...<br><br>
BTW, what's your kernel version and CPU? "uname -a" it

The output from the command is alias eth0 sis900 and NOT 9000. I
made a typo while transcribing the contents of the file.<br>
Sorry about that.<br>

Paul: change it to "900" (and not nine thousand) and run
