I had problems with my D-Link DE-530 CT PCI combo busmastering card.
When I started the requester, I received an error message that the lan 
connection was broken.  This was with the OS/2 NDIS driver from D-Link's
own web site.

After removing that driver, I used the one from Digital (which came with
MPTS), remembering to change the data rate from the default MB100 to 
MB10.

The card works fine.

YMMV,

John
