I can confirm this. DXF format does not appear as an option when
opening or saving vector layers. Selecting the "All files" filter you
can select a dxf file to open but then you get "filename.dxf is not a
valid or recognized data source." ogr2ogr can convert shapefiles to
dxf and ogrinfo understand dxf so the ogr driver is working. The d2s
plugin is working as well. BTW I just noticed that the ogr2ogr plugin
has gone.
