None of these will work. D-Link model numbers that start with "DFE" are
10/100 cards, and use a different chipset for which no Newton driver exists.
What you need are the DE650 or DE660 cards, these are supported by the ATLAN
multi-card driver.
The final three letters only refer to the kind of cables the cards support and
don't really matter.
