I have the same effect when booting from windows98 to linux ( 2.4.3 up to 
2.4.5). The windowsdriver less the card in a unbalanced state so that the card
lost his information of there own mac adress. We must plug off the powercable,
after plugin an start into linux the dlink card works. I don´t know what kinds
of specific instruction in the windows driver, but when I only used this cards
under linux, I doesn´t have this problem.

The driver version (dlkfet.sys) is 2.52 from 08/06/2000. this is the lastest
driver from the original dlink site.

Are you sure. What's the version of your driver. Please tell me. It's
important.
I remember we have fixed it already.

We running the newest driver from dlink but the problem was慨t fix.
I would contact dlink today , be stay tuned.

Yes, please download the newest driver from D-Link, becuase the

Most drivers read the EEPROM in their probe phase to present this sort
of problem.

It seems as though my card will not reset anymore after running windows 98,
even after a cold boot, and recompiling the kernel. Below is the output of
dmesg, lspci -n and ifconfig. Does anyone have any ideas? (please cc

Have you tried cutting power to the machine? (ie physically unplugging it)

Someone has claimed that the chip may not reset otherwise. As it is
Wake-On-Lan capable, that sort of makes sense - it needs to be not
entirely dead.

Are you sure the card is marked rev-A1 and not rev-B1? I was hoping
DFE-530TXs with vt6102 were all rev-B1.

Can you check what's printed on the card and send me the markings on the
main chips?
(one is probably marked DL10030, DL10030A or possibly vt6102 with a big
VIA logo)
