Exactly the same thing. If I `modprobe -v 3c589_cs && lsmod | grep -i 3c` I can see the module loaded, but I see exactly the same single line of text (and nothing more) when I plug the card in; the card is not shown in `ifconfig -a`. It doesn't make any difference if I load the module before plugging the card in or afterwards. The only remaining things I can think to do are to `make clean` before compiling my kernel and trying the exact .config & kernel version from the system rescue CD. I'm not optimistic of those, however - I still think I'm likely overlooking something stupid. Stroller.
