is there something in the above that makes you think it's a DFE-530TX+ rather than a DFE-530TX (not that i'm doubting you, the way i checked the make of the card was by opening the case and looking, and i could easily have been mistaken). > | via-rhine and 3c507 modules should work. when i got to the > | "Configure Device Driver Modules" stage of the installation, > | however, they both gave me this: > > The card you have is an rtl8139.
