Hi,

I recently had my NE2000 clone NIC bite the dust.  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).  

Brett
