Well... first off you should only need
device rl
Unless I'm mistaken the D-Link 530 tx + is a PCI based
interface card. The rest is for non pnp periphs.
Assuming that this works and your NIC is found in the
dmesg (or shown on boot up) you will need something
like the following in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces"lo0 rl0"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
^
Change to your ip
This should get your card at least seen by the system.
Hope it helps.
