[Hardware] [HCL] I: D-Link DFE-520TX [via-rhine] OK

[Michael Shigorin]

	Hello,
since it's not exactly straightforward to google up, here it is:

there is no problem with D-Link DFE-520TX (chip marked as
DL10028, but really a VIA VT6105 Rhine-III); it's so far doing OK
with 2.6.12 from Compact 3.0 and older 2.4.2x-based SystemImager
compatible as well.  The driver used is via-rhine.

Хе, там ещё и на упаковке -- "Compatible drivers include:
[...] * Linux 2.4/2.6" :-)
