If you look a little farther down in LINT, you'll see that the DFE-530TX is supported by vr(4), and the DFE-530TX+ is supported by rl(4). > My 530TX is using the rl driver. I don't know if there is a TX and a > TX+ version. Are you sure it's really a DFE-530TX and not a DFE-530TX+? My interpretation of the comments in LINT is that they are two separate models with very similar model numbers, supported by two different drivers. The DFE-530TX+ is missing from the rl(4) section in the hardware notes (I will go add this right now), but I think that the information that *is* there is correct. (Caveat: I don't own any D-Link equipment.) Cheers, Bruce. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
