DFE-580 is a "Sundance" chipset based. IMVHO this is not compatible with 
tulip-chipsets, although Sundance was made to look like some kine of a 
successor for the tulip chipset in D-Link products.

 From tulip.h:

enum chips {
         DC21040 = 0,
         DC21041 = 1,
         DC21140 = 2,
         DC21142 = 3, DC21143 = 3,
         LC82C168,
         MX98713,
         MX98715,
         MX98725,
         AX88140,
         PNIC2,
         COMET,
         COMPEX9881,
         I21145,
         DM910X,
         CONEXANT,
         ULI526X
};

 From sundance.c

static struct pci_id_info pci_id_tbl[] = {
         {"D-Link DFE-550TX FAST Ethernet Adapter"},
         {"D-Link DFE-550FX 100Mbps Fiber-optics Adapter"},
         {"D-Link DFE-580TX 4 port Server Adapter"},
         {"D-Link DFE-530TXS FAST Ethernet Adapter"},
         {"D-Link DL10050-based FAST Ethernet Adapter"},
         {"Sundance Technology Alta"},
         {NULL,},                        /* 0 terminated list. */
};
