Dominic,

I'm really not sure to follow this thread right, but it looks like you
configured your kernel like that

device                rl              # RealTek 8129/8139
#device               vr              # VIA Rhine, Rhine II

This is for a DFE530TX+    (Note the "+" here)


For a DFE530TX ( *Without* the '+')  adapter, you should configure
uncommented out the line

device               vr              # VIA Rhine, Rhine II

Be cautious  using this card at 100Mbps though, since it's apparently
buggy and causes notoriously the

/kernel:  vr0: Watchdog timeout

message, while the network hangs all around.

It _seems_ better at and safer at 10Mbps, not really a complete
workaround.
Could anyone on the list update about the watchdog timeout status of the
bug?

Hope my suggestion could help on your specific problem.

---------Original Message-----------------------
I've tried both your suggestions (and the ones from Felix-Antoine
Paradis).
Sadly though these haven't helped, I still get the same error as I had
before.

Dont know what to try know, Thanks both of you for your excellent help
anyway.
