I have a L8400L Asus notebook. It works fine.
I can't use the modem with Linux, but I can connect to the internet 
with an external modem or through ethernet.
I didn't try pcmcia.

I suppose you are running woody. You could upgrade to XFree86 Version
4.1.0.1. It works with my ati card ; with SiS chip I don't know, but
it's worth a try.
