From looking around more on the internet it seems that the DLink I have uses a Broadcom chipset, which is only supported by the driverloader you mentioned. Although it does seem to correctly detect the device, even to the stage that it shows as eth1, it seems to make my system a little unstable. And I have to admit I'm not up for paying money for a driver if I can exchange the hardware and no additional cost. Does anyone know of a card that will do what I need? There is a useful looking post on the forum [1] that suggests a Prism2 based card, so I will probably go along that route.
