I just installed that D-Link card and it was set to IRQ 12. I don't use a PS/2 mouse and had it disabled in the BIOS. The card seemed to work fine in Linux but with BeOS I'd get lockups as soon as I tried to do any net activity.

Otherwise the card will announce that it's NIC ID is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF or something similar. It also won't work. Rebooting Linux into Linux works fine btw - perfectly normal.
