Eliminate the obvious first: try using a different, known good, network
cable. Try using a different port on your switch or hub.
Make sure that the card and your network infrastructure agree on
whether you're running 10 or 100Mbit and Full or Half duplex. 3c589
uses the ep driver which only supports 10baseT, so check that your
switch is showing the correct 10Mb, half duplex setting.
