My laptop has an SiS 900 in it + Debian + 2.4.16.  It works most of the 
time but on occasions only in Linux, it stops responding totally, have to 
power down once to fix it.  Large file transfers don't seem to worry it too 
much in Linux, but Windows totally hangs when it sees any sniff of network 
traffic over about 20%, then starts responding again when it is finished.

I am far from impressed with its Windows performance, but it seems to work 
okay in Linux. The good thing is SiS seem quite keen to support Linux, so 
there is plenty of info out there about the chipset.  May I suggest trying 
a newer kernel, or patching your current source with more recent SiS 900 
code: http://www.sis.com/support/driver/linux.htm or put a better network 
card in it and disable the SiS 900.

... and I hope Thorn finds out who fathered the baby.
