Hello all,
regarding DFE-580TX I have some additions: 1) the 2.4.20-pre5 included sundance.c does not work at all with a recent Dlink-card, the interface statistics show complete garbage and there is no link possible. 2) The dlink driver Ryan points to does not handle mixed 10- and 100-MBit configuration. 100 MBit wins, 10 Mbit gives no link. 3) Donalds' drivers (www.scyld.com) cannot be statically linked with the kernel, there are dups in pci-scan.c and the current 2.4 kernel.
=>
1) In fact I wouldn't buy DFE-580TX today if I had a real chance of finding a 4 port tulip-driven card... 2) For 2.4-kernel something should be done, because currently the situation is a mess.
Regards, Stephan
