DFE-530TX+ (Realtek 8139 chipset). I've had no problems after I went through some initial work to get it detected. The card is not supported natively, but the chipset (Realtek 8139) drivers are available from the manufacturer. Then, there is a patch that needs to be applied.

Use the driver link to get the Realtek RTL8139 drivers. After installing the drivers from Realtek, you'll need to install a patch. Then the card should work. Note it will show up as "Realtek 8139 10/100 Ethernet PCI"

And it works out-of-the-box in R5.1d0

sucks! Could not get to work, with all the drivers and etc; went and bought the Netgear 311 at BadBuy, downloaded the drivers from here (link), and here i am posting on the site with Be. don't bother with this card.

I don't want to mislead anyone, but my version of this card works perfectly with BeOS 5.03 Pro. It is fast and has been very reliable.

Installed the above mentioned patch (on R5.0.3pro), slapped the new card in and it works great except for DHCP, but that I believe is another matter. Can't find any hiccups! I'll give it a 9 cause I had to install a patch. But now windows says it's configuration is invalid and must be reinstalled... suprised? nope... Who cares... I have a NIC that works with Be again - I'm a happy boy!
