I can find only one Ethernet controller:

This seems to really be a SiS NIC, not a VIA one. The vendor ID (1039) is
SiS, not VIA. Where do you get the VIA NIC from? I don't see any mention
of it in the lspci output.

The following two PCI devices seem relevant:

> [IDE] [1039:5513] (rev 01)

According to the kernel, the first one needs the sis5513 module and that
should be loaded automatically. The second device is currently not
associated with any kernel module. It looks like that is the problem
here.
Looks like this device is not yet supported in the 2.6.18 kernel as it
needs the sis_160 module, which is not available in 2.6.18.
Unfortunately we cannot help you with the current Etch kernel. If you
like, you can try creating your own installer with a later kernel, but
that is not an easy process. See [1] for further information.
