Turns out that the 3C589ET uses a different CARD_INFO than the old 3C589s. It calls itself a "3COM~Megaherts 589E". This has the nasty side effect that if_zp.c doesn't properly recognize it. I've successfully tweaked a 2.2.8-RELEASE kernel to recognize it and it works fine once you do that. However, I'd like to run 3.1. So, what I'm looking for is a 3.1 kern.flp that does the right thing. Yes, I could just upgrade, but this is a new machine and my experience has been that installs go better when you do them clean. I'd be perfectly happy to cut my own installation floppy, but the process doesn't seem that straightforward, and I'm loathe to spend a lot of time and energy figuring out what others already know. (Though if someone wants to tell me how, I'll be happy to submit a patched if_zp.c in return once I get things working.)
