(note the + in the name) The 530 TX+ is a very tiny card, the 530 TX is a "normal" sized PCI card. I have one problem with the 530 TX+ (rl) card in that it does not seem to detect the ethernet cable speed correctly when in "autodetect media" mode. I am setup with 10BaseT here and when the card is configured via DHCP, the performance suck (it seems that packet get out once in a while) until I do a "ifconfig rl0 media 10BaseT/UTP". After this the card works just fine. I haven't had time to look in the autoneg code, and the workaround is simple enough for now, but this to me qualifies as a bug (probably due to the poor quality of the card itself). Patrick.
