DFE-530TX+

Note that cards with a chip labelled "10038C" use a different
chipset (or something) than those with a chip labelled "10038",
even though they're both sold as model DFE-530TX+. I have several
of the earlier "10038" cards that I'm using with rtl8139 drivers,
but the rtl8139 driver doesn't work with the "10038C" version
on OpenBSD. I haven't tried it under Linux yet.
