good
That card is widely used without trouble so far

aware of at the last update.

is the module loaded ? (run "lsmod | grep 3c59x")
   no : load it by hand (run "modprobe 3c59x")

what does the kernel says then ? (run "dmesg")
   "device is busy" : the driver is not seeing your card
   "3c59x.c xxxxxx Donald Becker and "etc : it's working fine

is it correctly configured ? (run "ifconfig", watch for IP add)
   no : do it by hand (run dhclient or ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
