That is defnetly wrong.
Go to the dlink website down the latest drivers for your card.
Compile them as modules like it is written in the readme.
Do not forget to uncomment the lines in /etc/modutils/via-rhine
and in /etc/modules.conf similar to:
options via-rhine irq=9
add via-rhine in your /etc/modules
reboot and have fun
I did it and it does work :)
