I recently bought a DLINK DFE-530TX as the campus bookstore had them for $30 and I knew they were supported. I picked one up, recompiled and installed a kernel with vr0 support, then shutdown, put the new NIC in a PCI slot (after removing the old card) and rebooted. I'm running 3.2-STABLE. The problem I'm having is that the NIC is not being found on bootup. The old card was configured as an ed1 (although it was the only NIC installed - I bought the system pre-built w/ FreeBSD-2.1.7). I wondered then if I shouldn't configure the NIC to be vr1 - I rebuilt a kernel w/ support for both vr0 and vr1 support and tried again. Still no luck. Does anyone have any experience using this card? I'm using an ASUS-P155TPT4 motherboard. I've read through LINT and the only thing I saw to add to the kernel was vr0 (I already have pnp0 compiled in).
