You do live in interesting times. Does the D-link allow you to set an IRQ
in MPTS configuration?

Email me a copy of the driver and the NIF, for reference.

Really would not help. Both devices are PCI and should be able to share
an IRQ. Problem is the driver does not appear to support this.

Move the TekRAM

Swapping the TekRAM to another PCI slot might help.

I'll know the answer when I see the NIF.
