6 How to get a D-Link DFE-530TX+ working.
9 Thought I would share how I got my D-Link DFE-530TX+ working...
11 The DFE-530TX+ has a different chipset than the DFE-530TX. It's using a
12 Realtek RTL8139 chipset.
14 The kernel I am currently using (2.2.14) doesn't have support for this
15 network card, so I did some web surfing and I foundÿa driver for the

19 www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html

30 gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c pci-scan.c
33 gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c rtl8139.c
38 If you get any unresolved symbol errors, try doing 'insmod pci-scan.o'
41 Installing the modules:
42 install -m 644 pci-scan.o /lib/modules/<your kernel version>/net/
43 install -m 644 rtl8139.o /lib/modules/<your kernel version>/net/

46 your kernel, e.g. 2.2.14
48 Add the line below to your modules.conf (or, in some cases,
52 Do a 'depmod' command to update the modules database
54 Now you should be able to successfully finish step 9 (setting up basic
55 networking) of the lfs book...
