Linux driver for the cardbus D-Link DFE-690TXD, which uses
the rtl 8139 chip. This works with the pcmcia package.
All these files are from Donald Becker 
http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html 
I added a couple of lines so it will work with the DFE-690TXD.
I think the changes are not perfect. mii-diag does not work after
this installation; but the card seems to work.

These instructions worked for me:

 Build a kernel in directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.x . Make sure
you have the link given by
 cd /usr/src; ln -s linux-2.4.x linux
I configured the kernel for  no hotplug devices (no pcmcia or cardbus). The pcmcia
support is added with a separate package.

Build and install pcmcia package from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2405

extract cardbus_DFE-690TXD.tar.gz in /usr/src/modules
Type make.   Then
cp *.o /lib/modules/linux-2.4.x/pcmcia

Add the following lines to /etc/config.opts and restart the pcmcia
package (eg /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart)
These are the lines given by D. Becker, plus a line
for the DFE-690TXD.

--------
Changes from D. Becker's files follow. The originals are available at 
www.scyld.com/network

1. Changed the line setting CFLAGS in the Makefile to

CFLAGS=-DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -I$(LINUX)/include -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h

2. Changed the Makefile to only build the rtl1839 driver.

3. These two lines were added to the list of similar lines
in rtl8139.c 
 
{"D-Link DFE-690TXD (RealTek RTL8139)", { 0x13401186, 0xffffffff,},
	 RTL8139_IOTYPE, 0x80, RTL8139_CAPS, }
