DE530CT+ is a 10mbit based on DEC DC21041 chipset. Its working fine with
tulip-driver or DE4X5-driver. I have myself one.

The 10/100 card based on the VIA Rhine-II is the D-Link DFE530TX

Does it usually? I have now bad experiences with DE530CT+ and DFE500TX, both
dec chipsets. Nor with their switches. I never used other cards from d-link.
