I have some more information but I'm still stumped.
I found /proc/pci... I don't know why I couldn't find it before. Probably
sleep deprivation. My card is listed. Here is the info:
Bus 0, defice 11, function 0;
Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16)
Vendor id=1186. Device id=1300.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable.
Latency=32. Min Gnt=32. Max Lat=64
I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde800000 [0xde00000].
The card doesn't seem to be stomping on any other devices -- It has it's own
IRQ and memory... I turned PnP off in the bios. I tried a few things like
moving the card to several other PCI slots. I even explicitly set the pci
slot it is in to IRQ 10, but to no avail.
I have been looking through the archive for references to the card and
driver but all I come up with are posts about how easy it is to get this
card running. People actually suggest this card to newbies because it is so
easy to install. This makes me think there is something major that I am
missing. Here is the error message again:
"Device or resource busy. Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or irq parameters."
I appreciate any help!

I don't have a /proc/pci folder. This is a pretty bare machine that I built
just to use as a linux test box, so all I have in there is an AGP video card
and this PCI D-Link nic card. I haven't used the card under windows, so I
can't steal any IRQ info from there.
When I run lsmod, it lists:
nls_cp437 3880 1 (autoclean)
serial 19640 0 (autoclean)
unix 11336 35 (autoclean)
I haven't had to do this much tweaking since I installed Windows 3.1... I'm
having flashbacks.
Where can I read up on diagnosing IO and IRQ parameter problems? (assuming
that is what the problem is)?

I think that browsing /proc/pci can give some information, but I
haven't tried that yet. Have you used the card in windows? What does
it report as the IRQ and IO addresses?

I would expect the link light to be on if you have the card plugged
into the service (or cable modem) because a link exists. If you
unplug the card from the network the link light will go off. This is
hardware independent of the software drivers. It is a convenient way
to get information about which part of the card isn't working. My
card (LinkSys) has link, 100, duplex, and tx lights to indicate if a
link (network) exists, the network is 100 Mbps, the network is full
duplex, the card is transfering data right not.
