The D-Link DFE-650TX+ does not work?  Or the DFE-530TX+ does not work?
I personally have the DFE-530TX+ and it works fine with Linux.

Note that the '+' is an important distinction and uses a different
driver than the non-'+' version.  The TX uses the via-rhine driver and
the TX+ uses the RealTek driver.  FWIW the TX+ is a WOL card.  I have
only ever used the DFE-530TX+ myself.

P.S. For the archive, lest a researcher thinks I am endorsing the
D-Link alone, because actually I prefer the Linksys with the tulip
driver.  YMMV.  Both work well.  I have several of the Linksys
EtherFast LNE100TX cards through many different versions of that card.
All use the tulip driver and all work well for me.  Both the Linksys
and the D-Link occupy the very inexpensive end but reliable and well
supported end of the network card list.
