I run 4.3-STABLE and have used a DFE-530TX+ card and the miibus and rl drivers for 8 months or so now (on previous -STABLE versions, obviously). Also, contrary to what one previous poster said, I have PnP enabled on my BIOS and it detects all of my hardware without difficulty. From my dmesg file: rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xda000000-0xda0000ff irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci0 rl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:ba:8a:c1:9d miibus0: <MII bus> on rl0 rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> on miibus0 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Is this the same card you're talking about?
