Oops.. my mistake.  I have DFE-500TX in one machine, and two DFE-530TX 
in our ADSL router.  I keep getting confused about which card is 
installed in which machine.

When I bought my last two cards from Page Data, they only sold the 
DFE-530TX. /proc/pci tells me:

On "Tanya":
   Bus  0, device  10, function  0:
     Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 
(rev 65).

(using the de4x5 module)

On "Box":
   Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
     Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Ethernet Controller (rev 
67).
   ...
   Bus  0, device  12, function  0:
     Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Ethernet Controller (#2) 
(rev 67).

(both using the via-rhine module)

I just love how descriptive the entries for the VIA Technologies devices 
are.  To my naive mind, it's almost like saying "I have two Ford cars in 
the garage".
