Are you sure. What's the version of your driver. Please tell me. It's important.
I remember we have fixed it already.
The driver version (dlkfet.sys) is 2.52 from 08/06/2000. this is the lastest driver from the original dlink site.

Perhaps Yiping Chen was talking about a D-Link linux driver? David Vrabel has found a D-Link driver ("1.11") based on Donald Beckers that fixes the "00:00:00:00:00 after rebooting from win98" problem.
Here is a patch vs 2.4.5-ac4 that may fix this (if I didn't break it).
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/via-rhine-2.4.5-ac4-dlink-3.patch
Please test and let me know if it works. It should apply vs any 2.4.5* kernel. I have added those that I know have reported this problem before to the Cc list.
What the driver does differently at init time is disable wake-on-lan and power-management-events and then reload the MAC Address from EEPROM.
The reload code is also in the latest test version (1.10) from Donald Becker at www.scyld.com, and that is the code I have used with slight modification. I don't know if reloading from EEPROM alone is enough to fix the 00:00:00:00:00 bug.
There is also a minor thing with 0x01 being a reserved bit in TxConfig, that should probably be 0x02 to set it to loopback.
The D-Link driver has some other changes for various things. I have been unable to find the driver on dlinks site, but I have the copy David sent me:
