It could be that the D-Link >card is encoding media types differently (which means that BMSR_MEDIAMASK >needs updating), or is simply really telling us nothing. The PHY_READ call is returning 6, which is BSMR_LINK | BSMR_JABBER. I checked capmask, and it's 0xffffffff, so that's okay. Looks like the "nothing" gues is accurate. I tried hard coding the capabilities (overriding the return value) to those listed in the manual (10 and 100, full and half, and autonegotiate), and it still kernel panics the same way, so I would guess that there are two problems here, not just one.
