  I noticed a thread at...
http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Driver_for_DLink_DGE-530T_Gigabit_PCI_on_FC4_t33856.html

  According to it, you should use the "skge" driver.  If loaded as a
module, change /etc/modprobe.conf to read...
alias eth1 skge

  Make sure skge is built.  For nic drivers, I just build them right
into the kernel, but that's my personal preference.
