(Not that I really cared which driver supported it.) However my DGE-530T is unrecognised by the sk driver. The PCI vendor id of the DGE-530T I have is 0x1186 (D-Link) and the device id is 0x4b01 whereas the sk driver expects the device id of the DGE-530T to be 0x4c00. The cardboard box my DGE-530T came in said "H/W Ver: B1" Perhaps the H/W Ver could be used to distinguish "supported" DGE-530Ts from unsupported DGE-530Ts. D-Link seem to acquired a bit of a reputation in the Linux wireless world (see e.g. section 4 of http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.usage.html ) of using a variety of chip types in products with the same model number, making it quite difficult to identify a device that is really supported. Perhaps they have adopted the same unfortunate practice with their LAN cards. The sk man page also says the D-Link DGE-530T is supported by the sk driver, without making any mention that not all DGE-530-Ts have the same chip and therefore not all DGE-530Ts are supported by the sk driver. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
