Yes. Notice, however, that's its only being detected as a "Realtek 8139". It all depends on the revision of your 530TX+. Early revisions of the 530TX+ used RealTek's PCI vendor/device IDs, which is why your card is detected as a generic RealTek card. Later revisions used D-Link specific vendor/device IDs, and since the rl driver doesn't check for these (at least not in -STABLE), the card doesn't get detected. (According to another poster on this thread, Rev A/B/C cards exhibit the former behaviour, and Rev D cards exhibit the latter behaviour, as do the 538TX, which are just 530TX+ with WOL support.) Perhaps "not recognized" is a better term to use than "not supported". -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
