I've played this game before. It doesn't matter what you set by the
3C589CFG program. Whatever is set in the kernel config file is what
will be set in the card if one is found. Your problem is that it
can't find the card.

This happened to me with a pentium notebook and the Cirrus Logic PD672x
PCMCIA chipset. I had to add some timing parameters in the probe routine
to make it read the Card string indentifier correctly. Otherwise it was
gibberish.

What PCMCIA chipset do you have?
