Well, you're on the right track. More than likely the D-Link card has some
flags that aren't being properly set during the driver init.
In the meantime, it would be best if you built a debug kernel and enabled
crashdumps. This would give you (and us) more details on where (and why)
this thing is crashing.
Section 23 of the FreeBSD Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kerneldebug.html) has details of how to do
this. (Be sure to set dumpdev to your swap slice, and make sure that
sizeof(swap) > sizeof(RAM)).
