A newer DFE-530TX+ was taken into account with the following change


  Revision 1.38.2.7 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Thu 
Jul 19 18:33:07 2001 UTC (4 months, 1 week ago) by wpaul
Branch: RELENG_4
CVS Tags: RELENG_4_4_BP, RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE, RELENG_4_4
Changes since 1.38.2.6: +6 -3 lines
Diff to previous 1.38.2.6 (colored) to branchpoint 1.38 (colored) next 
main 1.39 (colored)

MFC: add the PCI ID for the D-Link DFE-530TX+/DFE-538TX.

There was a similar change to if_rlreg.h. This is a long time after 4.2 
was released. Without these changes, the new 530TX+ isn't recognized by 
the controller.
