I am still confused about the rl driver not working for this card. The NOTES in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES explicitly state that the rl driver is for the DFE-530TX+ and that the vr driver is for the DFE-530TX.
The manufacturer could have changed chipsets and didnt change model numbers. Its certainly not unprecedented. Or the wrong NIC could have been sold to you by accident.
I made a new kernel without the vr driver and the result was that no driver at all was recognized for the NIC. Is there a way to force the kernel to put an entry in /dev for rl0 so that I could try to configue it for the NIC?
Its a vr nic. Fiddling with the PCI ids of the drivers, will not make it work. i.e. changing the device IDs that the rl attaches to and removing it from the vr.
