the driver was added for release 3.1
check:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_rl.c
and
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h
support for the Dlink was added at version 1.58

Revision 1.58 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Wed Feb 21
20:54:21 2001 UTC (13 months, 3
weeks ago) by wpaul
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.57: +8 -6 lines
Diff to previous 1.57 (colored)
Big round of minor updates:
- Use pci_get_powerstate()/pci_set_powerstate() in all the other drivers
that need them so we don't have to fiddle with the PCI power management
registers directly.
- Use pci_enable_busmaster()/pci_enable_io() to turn on busmastering and
PIO/memory mapped accesses.
- Add support to the RealTek driver for the D-Link DFE-530TX+ which has
a RealTek 8139 with its own PCI ID. (Submitted by Jason Wright)
- Have the SiS 900/National DP83815 driver be sure to disable PME
mode in sis_reset(). This apparently fixes a problem on some
motherboards where the DP83815 chip fails to receive packets.

how much you can just use the 1.58 version of the file depends on
what else was changed, but it's probably easier than starting withj a
LINUX driver :-)
you may need toonly add the following lines to your present driver:
/*
@@ -152,6 +152,8 @@ static struct rl_type rl_devs[] = {
"Delta Electronics 8139 10/100BaseTX" },
{ ADDTRON_VENDORID, ADDTRON_DEVICEID_8139,
"Addtron Technolgy 8139 10/100BaseTX" },
+ { DLINK_VENDORID, DLINK_DEVICEID_530TXPLUS,
+ "D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100BaseTX" },
{ 0, 0, NULL }
};
