For a Dlink, modprobe 8139too. For an Intel modprobe eepro (or eepro100) (I recommend this, or a 3Com NIC). dlinks are cheap but tend to die on you.
Make sure it s fitted in correctly and the slot is working. Dmesg should show you that the NIC was detected. then ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 ifconfig to confirm that the module has been loaded.
