Re: D-Link DFE-530TX under 2.4.16-686

|Wanting to replace my prehistoric 10base-T card with something that can
|do 100, I bought myself a D-Link DFE-530TX and stuffed it into a free
|PCI slot. So I Googled for drivers and I keep being told that the card
|*is* supported, and uses the via-rhine drivers/module.  But modprobe
|via-rhine fails.

looks like the chip changed from 530tx (?) to 530 txs.
try out the "sundance" module. (i know you have 530tx,
but give it a try...)

btw, with this card :

error ? (vs a irq error, ....)

thanks
