D-link DGE-530T uses the sk98lin driver.  I was not able to get it to 
work with the module included with the 2.4.x kernels and Woody, however 
the module in kernel 2.6.8 (sarge) works fine.  When I was using woody I 
installed the driver from SysKonnect.

I would try the one that comes with the kernel first though since I 
might have had some other problem.
