On my Notebook (a MITAC, some wery odd noname machine) with the new Cirrus
Logic GD6832 CardBus controller i couldnt get the 3c589C card to work but
the D card works fine. In terms of FreeBSD i use the 3.0-970618-SNAP and
the network card works fine but the modem does not. I havent bothered to
really look in to it yet.

Hope someone will have an idea about the CardBus - 3c589C/D problem.
