Review on D Link DFE 550TX 100TX Managed Adapter by Bill Howard

Contrary to what the product documentation says before and after sale, 802.3x flow control is NOT implemented in this product - at least not in the included Win2K driver software. The driver software on the D-Link website is even older than the one on the CD. During auto-negotiation, this product informs its link partner that it does NOT have 802.3x flow control capabilities. Nowhere in the Win2K driver settings is there a place to enable this feature. This is a big disappointment as this product is one of the few with pre-sales documentation that includes flow control support. I bought this product on purpose, thinking it would support flow control, which it doesn't.
