All of them have always just worked for 10bT for me. The /etc/defaults/pccard.conf entry defines which link type it uses by default; # 3Com Etherlink III 3C589, 3C589B, 3C589C, 3C589D card "3Com Corporation" "/3C589/" config auto "ep" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start -link0 link1 # insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start link0 -link1 remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop These should probably be changed to 'media foo' options, though. Either way I've never had a problem with 3c589s and 10bT, it's just worked out of the box which is why I use them to network install machines so often.
