however I can not connect to the Internet after trying a number of

howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-

I have found quite a bit of people talking about problems with those
types of cards. How could you troubleshoot/fix that problem? Can I get
the step-by-step procedure? ;-)

Thanks

this conf is for internal network

where is this interface connected? to a router?

if so:

give the output of

# route

that config will depend on how you have your machine connected, and what
kind of internet access you have.

Hello,

2.6.19 is quite old, there has been a number of fixes in the sis190
driver since then. Can't you try a newer kernel ?

Does ifconfig really prints this or are you hiding things ?

I note that the interface is UP but not RUNNING. Usually related to the
link state.

Bingo.
