I lucked out with my recently purchased DFE-530TX: unfortunately it uses a "newer" Chipset (VIA VT6102), which I could NOT get to work correctly with the 2.2.x Kernel!!! Curious since an older DFE-530TX with the VIA VT3043 Chipset has been running well in a different machine (2.2.x kernel) for a few years now... Although the VIA VT6102 Chipset Unit does work with 2.4.x Kernels, the Kernel detects it as a Rhine-II (even though still labeled as a DFE-530TX)???
