1. download the DGE-550SX driver files from the dlink website and
   recompile the dl2k.o file, and copy it to the correct place following
   the instructions in the readme file.  

2. Edit the boot modules configuration file /etc/modules.conf to
   include the following lines:

   alias eth1 dl2k
   options dl2k media=1000mbps_fd

3. edit the network configuration scripts file
   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to include

   # D-Link System Inc|DL2K Ethernet
   DEVICE=eth1
   BOOTPROTO=none
   HWADDR=00:0D:88:B2:65:39 <<== your DLINK mac addr
   ONBOOT=yes
   TYPE=Ethernet
   USERCTL=no
   PEERDNS=no

4. The Gnome/KDE Control panel graphical utility messes up the two files
   modified in steps 2 and 3, so beware not to use it!!!
