Network problem

Hello,

I bought ASUS X50SL notebook. It has SiS 191 gigabit ethernet adapter, ant Atheros wireless card. Today, I installed arch And... i have no network. In rc.conf modules line, i found ath_pci, ath_hal, wlan, sis192 modules, but those don't exist! They cannot be found on my computer. Of course, wireless network is not working, but i plugged in network cable, and... it doesnt work.

rc.conf

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

When i try to start network...:

/etc/rc.d/network start
Error, eth0: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device

At first, i must to have internet on cable, then i can download everything for a wireless connection. Oh, i forgot to mention: I use Buffalo router.

Re: Network problem

OK, I installed arch second time, but this time i installed support package too. So now I have ath_pci module, ant sis190 (for ethernet card). But nothing changed.

As I said, at first I need to get some internet from cable. Look what i've found at dmesg when probing sis190 module:

sis190 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:04:0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:04.0 to 64
0000:00:04: Read MAC adress from APC.
0000:00:04: Can not find ISA bridge.
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:04 disabled
sis190: probe of 0000:00:04 failed with error -5

Yes... It's ON, but don't blink.
