Hi Folks,

  Kurt found that editing the pccard.conf entry for the 3c589D and
changing the IRQ to 11 got around this problem (I guess that was just
private mail not CC'ed to the list).  In the end, he got the 3c589 as
well as the modem half of the built-in Xircom modem/ethernet working in
the DEC (Compaq?) HiNote Ultra 2000.

Here's the pccard.conf fragment he sent me that worked with the above 
combination.  I have not had a chance to try it yet (all *5* boxes of
3c589D's at Frys were missing Dongles when we opened them.  I think
3Com has a little Quality Control problem!)

Originally from Kurt:

%% I have all disablable devices in my BIOS disabled.
%% 
%% from pccard.conf
%% ----------------
%% 
%% io 0x240-0x2e0 0x300-0x360
%% irq 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 13 15
%% memory 0xd000 96k  0xd4000 96k
%% card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + "
%% 	config 0x27 "sio0" 4
%% 	insert echo Xircom CreditCard Modem inserted
%% 	remove echo Xircom CreditCard Modem remove
%% card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D"
%% 	config 0x1 "ep0" 11
%% 	insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted
%% 	insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0
%% 	remove echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted
%% 	remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete

I hope Kurt doesn't mind my speaking for him.
