Hello Dave,
I am currently using the D-Link DFE-530TX+.
I don't know if that is the same thing but that is what it says on my box.
I am using Mandrake 7.0 Deluxe. My setup found the ethernet card but when I
looked into Lothar, the ethernet card was pointing to :
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 8139. My I/O was set to 220 and my IRG was
entered as 5. I hope this solves your ethernet woes.
Sincerely,
A Linux Newbie coming into his own.

Thorsten,
Uh oh, I haven't installed one of the cards yet, having problems w/ my old
P75.
Anyway what's worked for my other cards it to use DrakConf -> Networking ->
Basic host information -> adapter X and leave the Kernel module blank. With
both the cards I am currently using I believe that field was automatically
filled out after hitting accept. IIRC the first was also picked up during
install and the other by kudzu on boot, both still had to be configured as
above. I don't remember having to select a module for either card...I did
find
the DFE-530TX in a list of supported cards but the module it uses wasn't
mentioned.
