Under 1.4.1 on i386 with the same D-Link DFE 530TX card:

vr0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0: VIA VT3043 (Rhine) 10/100 Ethernet Ethernet
vr0: interrupting at irq 5
vr0: Ethernet address: 00:80:c8:xx:xx:xx
OUI 0x006040 model 0x0000 rev 0 at vr0 phy 8 not configured

I see that error lots:
...
Jan 19 16:28:57 aladdin /netbsd: vr0: transmit aborted
Jan 19 16:38:16 aladdin last message repeated 31 times

I'm seeing the above on two similarly configured machines, both of which have 
ASUS P2B motherboards.  I'm not sure what causes that message to be displayed, 
and it hasn't seemed to be causing any major problems, so I havn't been too
worried about it... (although maybe I should be??)  

Later...
