DLink being the rtl8139 / via rhine? I dont know if it's just me, but those
cards are _really_ crappy under linux from what I've seen of them ("dirty
queue entry, txqueuelen [blah] followed by a network interface freeze that
sometimes requires a power-off + power+on to fix it).
Check out the lkml archives at vger.kernel.org for more (there's a link to a
page which lists how different network cards perform on linux).
