The DFE-530TX is most definitely a VIA Rhine card and needs the vr driver. I have one. I only recently learned of the existence of the DFE-530TX+, which uses the RealTek 8139 and needs the rl driver. Yes, it's dumb to change the whole card design and do nothing to update the model number except stick a "+" on the end, but that's how it goes. D-Link also has a habit of selling certain cards only some markets. For example, there apparently also exists a DFE-540TX card that uses a Macronix chip, however it was never sold in the U.S., only in Asia. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
