Installing D-Link DFE-530TX+

Post by Bob002 »

Alright, I'm coming in completely blind on this computer. Someone set this up, sent it to my boss, and we've been using it for a couple years until the Intel Pro/1000 GT card crapped out over the weekend. Came to work to no activity.

Found a D-Link DFE-530TX+ Card that is supposed to be supported by the RL driver as far as I can find.

My issue is that I can't seem to get a thing out of it, other than FreeNAS tells me that it's up and the Intel card is down.

I've tried installing the RL driver found here: http://blog.hani-ibrahim.de/en/netzwerk ... ieren.html but the thumb drive my boss had was non-functional once plugged in (SanDisk Cruzer). It may actually be a USB issue, as I can't get another one to recognize as being plugged in.

I've even gone so far as to copy the driver to a CD-R in hopes that I can do it off that (to no avail so far).

FreeNAS version 0.7.2 if that will make a difference.
