(but there is no FreeBSD version of it > on the floppy, only linux and windows) I am using the D-Link DFE-530TX+ It is seen as rl0 miibus0 realtek 8139 driver I am using FreeBSD 4.3 I used the revision C version of the DFE, in the Black box. I bought a DFE 530TX+ in a silver box. On the card it said revision D. I put it in my machine, and it would not read the card. I pulled it out, robbed the 530TX+ out of my wife's M$ machine (which was a revision C-black box-, and it works just fine. I don't know the difference between the 530TX+ cards in the black box and the silver box, according to the floppy, both have the 8139 driver, but neither my Debian machine nor my FreeBSD machine would recognize the card from the silver and blue box with the man woman and child on the front. The card from the black box with the picture of the actual NIC on the front works just fine. -- kometboy kometboy@neo.rr.com (Debian GNU/Linux) leckert@neo.rr.com (FreeBSD) http://home.neo.rr.com/leckert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
