Silly me.

I tried it with 1.5.1 stock kernel, and it works fine.  It negotiated
100 base T full duplex right out of the box.

For the docs: It *is* the rtk driver (not vr). relevant syslog:

Jul 18 00:09:48 charm /netbsd: rtk0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0: D-Link Systems DFE 530TX+
Jul 18 00:09:48 charm /netbsd: rtk0: interrupting at irq 25
Jul 18 00:09:48 charm /netbsd: rtk0: Ethernet address 00:50:ba:55:02:51
Jul 18 00:09:48 charm /netbsd: ukphy0 at rtk0 phy 7: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface
Jul 18 00:09:49 charm /netbsd: ukphy0: OUI 0x000000, model 0x0000, rev. 0
Jul 18 00:09:49 charm /netbsd: ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

I'll have to do
some benchmarking to see if it can drive a full 100 Mbits, but
I see no console messages or other "issues".  Cool!

Thanks,

-dgl-

P.S. My asante card
with the de driver can't drive 100 Mbits in 1.5 without lots of
hiccups and whining.  It also does not do the auto 100 with the
switch reliably.  I'll have to fire it up with 1.5.1 and see if this
is all fixed up...(!)
