Description R P Herrold 2001-01-20 07:32:59 UTC 
Sold as a D-Link DFE-570TX (4 port NIC card)

Have tried both the tulip and de4x5 modules without success; kernal
archives show Pekka Savola ( another beta tester) appears to have had one
of these cards six months ago:

Comment 1 Pekka Savola 2001-01-20 07:52:32 UTC 
I haven't tried my quad-porter on betas.  Six months back I realized de4x5 didn't really work 
and stock tulip had some issues too; it didn't work in forced full duplex mode.  I talked with
Don Becker with this a bit, and he fixed a bug in his drivers; 'testing' version worked.

Your card seems *way* different than mine.  I wonder if they've started to use winbond chip
on it without changing the part number or something.  I get (one for each interface):

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-01-21 03:50:07 UTC 
There's a winbond-840 driver in the 2.4 kernel; this will get mapped
via kudzu in 0.90. There's nothing in the driver that indicates it's
a four port card, though.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-01-21 03:51:07 UTC 
Please reopen if that driver doesn't work for you.
Comment 4 R P Herrold 2001-01-21 17:36:16 UTC
