I agree. We run another 4 machines on D-Link DFE530-TX's but they are all
revision A1 cards using the Via Rhine chipset. The problem is that the
revision B1 card uses the VT6102 Rhine II chip and needs version of
via-rhine greater than v1.07 (see
http://www.scyld.com/network/ethercard.html ). My Mandrake 7.0 ships with
v1.01. I have the source from D-Link/www.scyld.com but cannot compile it
without the errors mentioned previously.

Thanks anyway.

(2.2.14-15mdksmp) doesn't recognise the card. D-Links support suggests a new
version of the via-rhine driver is required to support this new card
revision. I have fetched down the latest version source (v1.11)from the
D-Link site but when I try to make it I get pages of errors a snippet of
which I include here:

anyone suggest how I overcome this or point to a precompiled version of the
