I have purchase several network card D-Link 10/100 dual speed DFE 530TX+
REV. D1. I am experiencing a problem to install a driver for it under
Linux.

According to the information I read here (and the driver shipped with
the card), I should use RTL8139, but "insmod" fails to detect the
hardware. I ran the diagnosis program (from manufacturer) and it looks
alright. I checked the PCI information (/proc/pci) and it list the
correct IRQ and valid address. I ran rtl8139-diag and it did not report
anything out of norm.

I am using Debian 2.2 r0 (Kernel is 2.2.18pre21)

I know the RTL8139 driver is buggy, but I assume it does load. Is that
correct ?

One point worth mentioning, I had several other D-Link card which I used
RTL8139.o successfully before, they all had a chip labeled RTL8139, but
not the new one I purchased (and have problems with) The chip is labeled
(DL10038C).

Can you please advise me what I am doing wrong here ???

Thanks,
Mohamad El-Bawab.
