It may be the chipset that is the problem. I have a DFE-530TX and it
was so easy to get working (my desktop is running testing) that I
bought another a few weeks later when my wife jumped ship to debian
(from Windoze) and it worked a treat with woody.
This was last Decemeber, so more recent cards may have a different
chipset.
My lspci says I have a 'rev A' card (although the Via Rhine chipset on
it is apparently rev 43).
