>Description:
I bought a D-Link DGE-530T because the documentation (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-i386.html) said it was supported and supported by the sk driver. (Not that I really cared which driver supported it.)

However my DGE-530T is unrecognised by the sk driver. The PCI vendor id of the DGE-530T I have is 0x1186 (D-Link) and the device id is 0x4b01 whereas the sk driver expects the device id of the DGE-530T to be 0x4c00.

The cardboard box my DGE-530T came in said "H/W Ver: B1" Perhaps the H/W Ver could be used to distinguish "supported" DGE-530Ts from unsupported DGE-530Ts.

D-Link seem to acquired a bit of a reputation in the Linux wireless world (see e.g. section 4 of http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.usage.html ) of using a variety of chip types in products with the same model number, making it quite difficult to identify a device that is really supported. Perhaps they have adopted the same unfortunate practice with their LAN cards.

The sk man page also says the D-Link DGE-530T is supported by the sk driver, without making any mention that not all DGE-530-Ts have the same chip and therefore not all DGE-530Ts are supported by the sk driver.

State-Changed-When: Mon Feb 19 12:50:14 UTC 2007 
State-Changed-Why:  
The version you are currently mentioning is now supported within 
FreeBSD. I dont think it is feasible to change the documentation, we 
should try and support new revisions when they come out, documenting 
them all would create more overhead and so on. Problem solved :)
