Subject: possible regression: sis900 fast ethernet doesn't work anymore with 2.6.28

I've got a headless system.
It's a testing x86.

It has got a "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev
90)" ethernet controller.
It's always worked fine with 2.6.27. I've updated to
2.6.28 .. (make silentoldconfig) and now networking doesn't work anymore.

dhcpcd waits and then assigns "an old ip from some assumed cache file" (that
has nothing to do with my 192.168.* LAN but is something else like 167 or
something)

Also manual configuration doesn't work anymore. On the other hand the same
static config works if I load the 2.6.27 kernel.

net.eth0 is recognized also by 2.6.28, though.
And it is fired up at bootup, also.

Indeed the full-duplex link appears in the 2.6.28 kernel log (as it appeared
in
2.6.27).
