here it is: http://www.acl.lanl.gov/plan9/sis900/ethersis.c

haven't used it since april last year, when i made sure it works with R4...
some work may be required to add your revision chipset in. see the top of
the file:

 * some registers not appearing in the documentation
 * were 'stolen' from freebsd's if_sis.c (found at
 * the end of the enums -- the uncommented ones).
 * eeprom reading routines come from the same driver
 * but are untested (the chipset revision we have here
 * reads the mac address from cmos).

Dan Cross also has an SiS 900 driver.

I've extended Charles Forsyth's ether83815.c to drive the SiS 900 but
so far it only works under light load.  When I tried to make an SiS
900 my file server's primary interface, I was able to boot a cpu
server but it hung part way through executing cpurc.  I'm still
working on the driver in my spare time.
