Grrrr....

It's a moot point. I realized that in your earlier mail, you claimed
that the card included a Linux driver called rtl8139.c, so it can't be
a VIA Rhine. Just to be clear:

- D-Link DFE-530TX == VIA Rhine II (vr driver)
- D-Link DFE-530TX+ == RealTek 8139 (rl driver)
- D-Link DFE-540TX == Macronix 98715 (dc driver)
- D-Link DFE-550TX == Sundance Technologies ST201 (ste driver)

This is a 530TX+ we're talking about here, correct?

About the only thing I can do is obtain a card like yours and play with
it. If you can show me a link to the exact card that you have on the
D-Link web site, I can see what I can do about getting BSDi to buy me
one.

The alternative is for you to stick a second card in that machine which
does work, then put it on the net and give me remote access to it so I
can debug it myself. This may not be possible for technical or political
reasons however.
