I got a wild idea last night, and dug into the BIOS. It turns out that my "Plug and Play aware Operating System" parameter had been turned off. I turned it on, and now my 3c589 auto-detects during install. Now if I could only get XFree86 to stop hanging when it tries to start up, I'd be happy! 8^)
Thanks!

This ties into the same problem I had (mailed earlier too but didn't know
if it got to the list...), you can't select pcmcia cards for network
interfaces at the initial install, so they aren't configured either.
After running "netconfig" the card was detected and working, but the
pcmcia startup had to be moved ahead of the network startup. (moved from
S45 to S09) Not having the card availible during the initial config also
made it impossible to download ssh/openssl packages during the install.
