Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Matthew Dillon
had to walk into mine and say:

Both exist. The DFE-530TX is most definitely a VIA Rhine card and needs
the vr driver. I have one. I only recently learned of the existence of the
DFE-530TX+, which uses the RealTek 8139 and needs the rl driver.
Yes, it's dumb to change the whole card design and do nothing to update
the model number except stick a "+" on the end, but that's how it goes.
D-Link also has a habit of selling certain cards only some markets.
For example, there apparently also exists a DFE-540TX card that uses a
Macronix chip, however it was never sold in the U.S., only in Asia.
