Yes, but I'll have to know what the card is to know which driver to
use. Add the line
alias eth0 <driver>
to /etc/modutils/local_config (create the file if it doesn't already
exist) and run 'update-modules'. Replace "<driver>" with the name of
the actual driver. The following is a list of some of D-Link's cards
and the corresponding driver name :
DE-530TX tulip
DFE-530TX via-rhine
DFE-530TX+ rtl8139
I know they also make an ISE NE2000 clone card which would use the
'ne' driver, but I don't know the model number.
