i use Etherboot 4.2.10 and DFE-530TX (dl10030 chip) don't works for me
i modify "pci.h" about PCI signature 10EC 8139 to 1106 3043.but no luckly
it look for membase 10fa like his:
    Probing ...[RTL8139]RTL8139 driver for Etherboot-4.2 ERROR:
        no probeaddrs given,using pci_device
    rtl8139: probing EE9A (membase would be 10FA)
    rtl8139: probing ED33 (membase would be 1119)
    .....
    No adapter found <sleep>
why?
has some one any sucessful experience for DFE-530TX(dl10030 PCI signature 1106 3043)?
