Re: D-Link DFE-530TX Probs W. 2.4.2



Try using the 2.4.x ac kernel series 
(ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.4/)
as it has a patch in it that recognizes the new DLink 530 cards. The
PCI ID of these cards changed at some point, instead of identifying themselves
as realtek 8139, they now identify themselves as actual dlink cards, so the
old driver doesn't detect them. The AC kernels have a fix for this, but
Linus hasn't merged it into his tree yet, as far as I know. Works fine for
me. If you don't feel like living on the edge, just plop that one patch into
your 2.4.2 kernel, it's pretty small.

HTH,

james
