Dachstein has the fa310 and fa311 module. If you are using the CD version you
do not need to copy the modules to /lib/modules. You just need to spell them
correctly. On my DCD:
hanroute: -root-
# mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hda /mnt
hanroute: -root-
# cd /mnt/lib/modules/net
hanroute: -root-
# ls -al fa*
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8332 Dec 1 23:11 fa311.o
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8332 Dec 1 23:11 fa312.o
hanroute: -root-
# va 81*
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 18448 Dec 1 22:06 8139too.o
hanroute: -root-
# cd /
hanroute: -root-
# umount /mnt
---------
If you are using the floppy version you may have to copy these modules to the
floppy if they are not already there. Modules available on Charles' site.
The DFE530TX+ I believe works (better??) with the new 8139too module. All these
pci cards need pciscan loaded first.
