Thanks for your answer.
I tried to kldload some if_ drivers, but all of them already exist,
because I am using the GENERIC kernel where all of them are already
setted. I was waiting to find the good one before actually recompiling
kernel.
I thought good one should be if_de, since my card is setted under the
tulip driver on linux... Maybe I just need to find a way to tell kernel
what driver my card need... but I don't know where I should start.
I wonder if having this card stated as D-Link insted of NetEasy in
pci_vendors list can be the problem. If I could find a way to tell
kernel they are the same thing I may be able to solve this problem.
Any idea?

dc(4) is a better candidate for most tulip cards than de(4). de(4)
only supports rather ancient tulip cards. dc(4) supports most of
the non-ancient cards.
