    I just installed 5.3-R on a spare machine, which is equipped with a D-Link
    DFE-530TX network card.
    This is a "typical" Digital 21440A-based card which has worked fine fine
    under 4.x before.
    In 5.3, it's shows up as a 'de' device, but I recall it being either a 'dc'
    or a 'vr' under 4.x. Or maybe not.

    Here's what "boot -v" shows (hand-transcribed):

    de0: <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe87f mem
    0xc9000000-0xc900007f irq 5 at device 9.0 in pci0
    de0: Reserved 0x80 bytes for rid 0x10 type 4 at 0xe800
    de0: can't read ENET ROM (why=-4) (7f7fef7f ..... )
    de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
    de0: address unknown

    Any ideas of what I can do to get this card working? I am going cvsup
    to -STABLE as soon as I can find another card that works.
