Have you tried using pccardd?  It works just fine for me.  I compiled
the ISC DHCP client seperately, since the port was marked broken in
3.1, but I see it's been fixed in 3.2.

I had to add the following section to /etc/pccard.conf for my PCMCIA 
ethernet card:

# Wes's D-Link card (works with BeOS)
card "D-Link" "DE-660"
        config 0x20 "ed0" 11
        insert echo D-Link ethernet card inserted
        insert /etc/pccard_ether ed0
        remove echo D-Link ethernet card removed
        remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete

There is a configuration for the 589D already in /etc/pccard.conf.sample,
so you should have an easy time of it.

This machine wanders back and forth between home and work every day, and 
works fine on startup/shutdown.  Suspend is a little iffy, but the only 
time I use suspend is to take it off the network at lunch and put it back 
on the same network after lunch.

Email me if you need any help.
