D-Link DFE-530TX NIC not recognized...

[yo _]

The DFE-530TX and DFE-530TX+ use different ethernet chipsets. The D-Link 
website has information about the older model and what chipset it uses, it's 
not RealTek 8139, i forget what it actually is though. I remember being 
concerned with this when i got my 530TX+ though. Good Luck!
