Richard: I'll be glad to share what I learn as I go, and I planned on sending lessons-learned back to the list / primary producers of LEAF. You pointed me in the right track, but it turned out the 3c589_cs CANNOT be called from within the /etc/modules. Instead, the 3c589 driver needs moved to the /lib/modules/pcmcia, then the pcmcia package backed up. Upon load, the OS automatically loads these modules, in module-dependent order. That got eth0 working, at least from the firewall's view.
I'm still checking the eth0 service to make sure I understand what's available / works there.

You can insert the module on a running system with "insmod 3c589_cs" I'm very interested in your progress on this project, as I'm about to try something rather similar in the next few weeks.
