I'm pretty sure this needs porting for Linux/m68k. Start with an
existing m68k
PCMCIA ethernet driver, and compare that with its mainstram
equivalent. Then
apply similar changes to the 3c589 mainstream driver.
IIRC the only supported PCMCIA card is a NE2000. Look at drivers/
net/apne.c and
compare with drivers/net/ne.c ... actually, do this comparison on a
fairly old
version of the kernel source, the two drivers have diverged
sufficiently to make
a simple diff hard to stomach.
Of course, you can try to get drivers/net/pcmcia/3c589_cs.c to
compile for m68k
and work through the compile errors if you are so inclined.
Good luck,
Michael
