First of all, the 3C589D (vs. the 3C589, 3C589B, and 3C589C) card was
released *after* 2.2.1, and I didn't get the change into the 2.2 branch
until *after* 2.2.2 was shipped, not even knowing a release was
immenent.

Ahh, you're using the PAO patches.

Yep.  It's selecting the wrong connector.  Try messing with the link
flags, and see if they help.

Either '-link0 link1' or 'link0 -link1' appended to the end of the
ifconfig line should do the trick.
