Remembering the proverb "Google is your friend" I did a search for "RTL
chipset" and came up with a bunch of discussion about the D-Link DFE-530TX+
NIC. Then, I went to the D-Link website, but was unable to verify that the
target NIC does, in fact, use the RTL chipset. Since I (now) live in the
hinterlands, it isn't possible to actually check these things out physically --
life is strictly mail order here.

So, can someone verify that the DFE-530TX+ does use the RTL chipset? FWIW,
TigerDirect.com has these in stock selling for $11.99 per copy, which does seem
to me to qualify as inexpensive. The NICPack page seems to indicate that the
RealTek driver will work with this card. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks for your assistance.
