I could be mistaken, but it appears that the LAN is integrated into the 735 chip, leaving you with 2 options: see if SiS has Linux drivers, or if the open source community comes up with anything--this includes you writing a driver for it.
I c. I checked the SiS web site. They're a bit stingy with drivers. They also have no intentions to support the drivers available on their web site as they claim that other parties have created them!!!
I hope the linux community comes up with something very soon, as I am not sklled enough to write my own drivers (at least not just yet)!
