[Bug 381196] Re: network card/driver (sis190) doesn't notice when cable is unplugged

[Taylor Nelson]

It is a well known phenomenom for ages that the ubuntu/debian/etc sis190
drivers fail to probe link status and generally suck the MANDRIVA and
supposedly mint drivers(althought I haven't tested them) DO WORK.
Ubuntu could you please do a quick ctrl+c /usr/src/mandriva-linux-2.6
.current-32bit/modules/net/sis190.c and port it over to x86 too please.
As I don't like using an x32 system just because of an ethernet driver.

Seriously it's taking way too long for you guys to fix this....ez
just ctrl+c ctrl+v from mandriva source for x32
then patch over to amd64 

to help you find the sis190.c source here are instructions if you need them(seems like it, given this takes so damn long to fix):
goto mandriva.com
download spring linux edition
install
su root
urpmi kernel-source
(select a version)
cp /usr/src/the kernel source/drivers/net/sis190.c -> Ubuntu souce

thanks... could you tell the people at debian they need to fix theirs as
well.
