Are you saying that they do work? Don't ignore Mike's advice, but the 3c589D is now supported by 2.2-stable (unfortunately, the fix didn't make it into 2.2.2), and of course - current. Someone supplied the fix for the D model, and they are no fully supported. > I get about twice the throughput that is reported for the '589's using > an Accton EN2216, and (at least around here) they're a much cheaper card.
