Shane,
Well, after going through the "trouble" of downloading the code for
the driver, I found that there is already a compiled module for this
board. The DFE530TX board uses the via rhine chipset.
You should find in the /lib/modules/(kernel version)/net directory a
file called via-rhine.o. If so, just add "alias via-rhine eth0" to your
/etc/conf.modules file, and set up ip's, routes, etc as usual. (BTW,
I am using RH5.2 on that box, but it should be similar.)
Best Regards,
