AFAIK D-Link NICs is worst choice. Two reasons:
1. D-link NICs always was cheap low-end solution.
2. Couple months ago D-link switched it's NICs from RTL8139 (pretty
stable) to VIA Rhino III chip (which has problems under OpenBSD)
without any changes in model number.
VIA chips has permanent problems w/ OpenBSD - it hangs
and stops responding network connected to it (tcpdump(8) or reboot
can reset NIC until next fault). Maybe, due driver imperfection.
So I recommend you to avoid VIA NICs.
