D-Link DFE-530TX 10/100 PCI network card not...
I got the Cheapbytes CD for Redhat 6.0, and almost everything installed fine
except for networking support for my NIC, a D-Link DFE-530TX 10/100 PCI
card. It works very well in Windows 98, but apparently there is no support
in Linux yet. I tried NE2000, NE1000 (though that's ISA, right?), and all of
the 3Com options, but none of them worked. I have some technical knowledge,
but not enough to write a driver for my card. I've had the same problem with
SuSE 6.1. Do you know if there is support for this card in any form, or if
there's something special I can do in the installation to get it set up? I
might even consider running linux primarily if I were to get this working.
Thanks,
Nick Bennett

with that stupid logo NE2000 Compatible. I have never tried it but I would
say use the other more specific driver.

You're probably thinking of a different D-Link model; they've got several
with annoyingly similar model numbers, but radically different designs.
The DFE-530TX is a 10/100 PCI model that uses the VIA Rhine chipset.
AFAIK, it is *NOT* NE2000-compatible. Even if it were, I'd use the VIA
Rhine driver, since it's more specific to the model in question.

Boot from a dos floppy and configure your card for 0x300, IRQ 10.
I'm fairly certain that the NE2XX driver/module will work.

There is Linux support. The D-Link DFE-530TX board uses the VIA Rhine
chipset, so you need to specify the via-rhine driver. I'm using one of
these as the link between my Linux box and my DSL modem.
