reg. sis 900 drivers

[Allen Pradeep]

sir, i'm a linux novice user.. i run fedora core3 and winXP.. i'm
using a asus mother board which comes with a internal sis900 ethernet
card. whenever i start fedora i get an error message stating
"Sis 900 device eth0 does not seem to be present. Delaying initialization"

i'm also not able to connect to the internet. with winXP i can!!!!
 i wrote a mail to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx with outputs of the
following commands:
>modprobe sis900
>dmesg
>lspci

he gave a reply stating that sis900 adapter is not found in your
system: his reply was this
"I don't think that you have a sis900 adapter in your computer. lspci
lists your network adapter as unknown, so I think you should write to
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the main development list) and ask for
 help there"

 so i have mailed u regarding this... i'm really interested in linux
and because i'm not able to connect to the net, i'm using winXP
 i've run the following commands:
> modprobe sis900 > foo.txt
> dmesg > bar.txt
> lspci > baz.txt
 and have attached foo.txt, bar.txt, baz.txt along with this mail...

 i would be greateful to you if u help me in solving this problem.
please send the drivers needed and also tell me how to install them
since i'm a novice user...
 thanking you in advance
 hoping for a prompt response...

TSC cannot be used as a timesource.  
Possible reasons for this are:
  You're running with Speedstep,
  You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
  Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
Falling back to a sane timesource now.
