You will be better off using the pccard feature than tring to use the zp9
device. Look at /etc/pccard.conf.sample. Your card is supported under
pccard. Do the following steps to get the 3C589C working.
1. copy /etc/pccard.conf.sample to /etc/pccard.conf
2. In your kernel configuration file enable the pccard support by
uncommenting the following items
controller card0
device pcic0 at card?
device pcic1 at card?
3. Make sure the ep0 device is enabled in the kernel config
4. Remake your kernel
5. In the /etc/rc.conf file make sure pccard_enable is set to YES
That should do it.
