[elrepo] request for updated sis190 driver

[Del]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but the ELRepo web page 
says this list is to "make suggestions for new packages".

The sis190 driver supplied with the current Linux kernel is relatively 
unstable.  It doesn't work reliably unless the ethernet MTU is lowered 
to 1492, and it doesn't work at all in the x86_64 kernel.  A patch to 
solve the general instability problem went into the 2.6.24 kernel (or 
thereabouts), and a patch to solve the x86_64 kernel has recently been 
posted to the kernel git tree.

Is there any chance that elrepo could host an updated version of this 
driver?  The chipset is found in an increasing number of low-end 
notebook and subnotebook machines.

I'm not sure how to go about extracting a driver from the kernel git 
tree and compiling / installing / packaging it against the current EL 
kernel myself so if someone can help out that'd be great.

Thanks,

Del
