The problem I and others are having is that kernel compile fails with an error message apparently involving the miibus. (I didn't save my error message but it was *exactly* what others have reported in the past 24 hours.) This appears to be independent of what card anyone is using -- although if there is a link I'm interested in knowing more -- because the failure started after the 4.3-RELEASE commit and unfreeze of the code, which suggests the problem is in the code somewhere rather than what card or driver we're using. IIRC the subject of D-Link 530TX-series cards was discussed a couple of months ago, and the Via-Rhine driver goes with the plain D-Link 530TX card, not the D-Link 530TX+ (note the "+" on the end) - but I may be misremembering. If I'm missing a link here -- obvious or not -- please set me straight. Thanks.
