I'm running 7.2-stable and I replaced an old ISA NIC with
a D-Link DFE-530TX+ card. According to the manual, the
correct driver for this card is rl driver. The kernel
insists on using the vr driver which is for the DFE-530TX.
>From what I can tell, the two cards have different chipsets
and so the drivers are not compatable.
I can configure the vr driver, but the card does not work
with it - I cannot establish a connection even with ping.
Is there a way for me to force the kernel to use the rl
driver? I am using a generic kernel, so all the needed
drivers are built-in.
Any other suggestions?
Output from ifconfig and dmesg are below.
Thanks, Mike Gass Minnesota USA
