Network cards tests

Hi,

I've just finished reinstallation of 20 pc using network backups... ('hope 
it's understandable)

It appears that:
Use of network modules and smbmount with Tomsrtbt1.7.361 is OK with:
-RTL8029 network card and rtl8139.o driver
-SN3200CT network card and rtl8139.o driver
-RTL8139 network card and rtl8139.o driver
-Dlink DFE530TX Rev-A1 and via-rhine.o driver

But it doesn't with:
-Dlink DFE530TX Rev-A3-1 (recently bought) and via-rhine.o driver

----------------------------------------

Use of network modules with Tomsrtbt2.0.103 is OK (I mean pings are OK) with:
-RTL8029 network card and rtl8139.o driver
-RTL8139 network card and rtl8139.o driver
-Dlink DFE530TX Rev-A1 and via-rhine.o driver

But it doesn't with:
-Dlink DFE530TX Rev-A3-1 and via-rhine.o driver
#insmod via-rhine.o

Is there something wrong with this driver?
----------------------------------------

With Tomsrtbt and smbmount, I failed to make it OK.
Pete Scott told me the way I should do it, but It didn't work.
After a lot of tests:
Use of smbmount with Tomsrtbt2.0.103 is OK with:
-RTL8029 network card and rtl8139.o driver
I get some errors like:
smb_request: result -22, setting invalid
smb_close_socket: still catching keepalives!
smb_retry: successful, new pid=135,generation=2
...
But it works.

It doesn't work with:
-RTL8139 network card and rtl8139.o driver
-Dlink DFE530TX Rev-A1 and via-rhine.o driver

-Dlink DFE530TX Rev-A3-1 and via-rhine.o driver
But Mdk8.2 recognize this card and uses via-rhine.o updated(?).
I have tried to use Mdk8.2's driver with Tomsrtbt2.0.103 and:
It doesn't work:
I get many lines with:
"unresolved symbol add-timer_Ra19eacf8
unresolved symbol ...
..."
And "ping 127.0.0.1" works but doing "CTRL+C" freezes the terminal.
Mdk8.2 has 2.4 kernel and Tomsrtbt2.0.103 has 2.2.20...
It was a stupid test.

Where can I get help for theese cards?

Thank you very much.

I've tried line by line, command after command.
I've tried those scripts too:
With Tomsrtbt1.7.361:
#---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#Script for Tomsrtbt1.7.361:

#$2 for tomsrtbt floppy mount point
#$3 for IP address (default is 192.168.52.39)
if [ $1 ] ; then
  cd $2
  insmod $1
  if [ $3 ] ; then
    ifconfig eth0 $3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.52.255
  else
    ifconfig eth0 192.168.52.39 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.52.255
  fi
  route add -net 192.168.52.0
  route add default gw 192.168.52.1
  cp $2/hosts /etc/
  mkdir /mnt/win
  mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
  cp $2/smbfs.o.bz2 /mnt/win
  bzip2 -d /mnt/win/smbfs.o.bz2
  insmod /mnt/win/smbfs.o
  cp $2/smbmount.bz2 /mnt/win
  bzip2 -d /mnt/win/smbmount.bz2
else
  echo Give \$1 for network driver name
  echo \$2 for Tomsrtbt floppy mount point
  echo \$3 for IP address (192.168.52.39 default).
