Hi,
I recently had my NE2000 clone NIC bite the dust. I recently bought a
DLINK DFE-530TX as the campus bookstore had them for $30 and I knew they
were supported. I picked one up, recompiled and installed a kernel with
vr0 support, then shutdown, put the new NIC in a PCI slot (after removing
the old card) and rebooted. I'm running 3.2-STABLE.
The problem I'm having is that the NIC is not being found on bootup. The
old card was configured as an ed1 (although it was the only NIC installed
- I bought the system pre-built w/ FreeBSD-2.1.7). I wondered then if I
shouldn't configure the NIC to be vr1 - I rebuilt a kernel w/ support for
both vr0 and vr1 support and tried again. Still no luck.
Does anyone have any experience using this card? I'm using an
ASUS-P155TPT4 motherboard. I've read through LINT and the only thing I
saw to add to the kernel was vr0 (I already have pnp0 compiled in).
Brett
