Hi Leo.
Well, I've begin testing the GA-71XE motherboard (by Gigabyte).
This is a AMD 751/756 based board.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem, yet. Everything seems to
work fine. The setup is just the same, but the motherboard.
Is anyone aware of incompatibility problems between Asus motherboards
and D-Link 530DFE cards?
.TM.
