I've got some old Znyx ZX346 (quad 21140) cards that used to work great with dc and somewhat with de. Now they don't work with either driver. With de there is no media support, and with dc there is some kind of problem that causes random packet loss and corruption. I haven't had time to troubleshoot what is going on, I just swapped them out for some dual fxp cards. The basic issue here is that de and dc both support a huge number of different chips. dc supports many completely different chips from different companies that all support a similar register set and similar modes of operation Unfortunately, one person makes a change to dc that "fixes" their chip, and breaks two others without knowing it.
