I did. But I can't find the solutions. :(

As I said, I used DFE 530 TX, not DE 530.

I once ran a RED HAT box.
I used to download a via-rhine.c from dlink website
and not from source tree, because the kernel (2.2.14) I used
did not support 530 TX version B.
And I compiled it as a module, I used insmod and modify conf.modules.
It worked just fine.
Now I use debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.17, I want to use the drivers in the
source tree.
Sorry for my poor English.
Thank for your replies.
