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.
