For those who have been paying attention, I found
the problem with the 3c589 last night. I needed
to add one line to ether589.c. In reset(), it sets
up some parts of an Ether structure. Then when
setting the media type, it calls etherelnk3reset()
indirectly through configASIC. But etherelnk3res

I am using a 3c589 and remember having the same symptoms at first. Jmk then
