       really ??? ! :-)                            bad !!!

There is an "irq??" printed above ...

This indicates that no interrupt has 
been assigned to the PCI slot you put
the 3c590 in!

Use the PCI BIOS setup menu to assign 
a unique value (conflicts with ISA 
devices are currently not automatically
detected).

} aui/bnc/utp [*UTP*] address 00:20:af:f4:95:12 
} Warning! Defective early revision adapter!
} 	int line register not set by bios

I'd rather expect this to be the result 
of insufficient PCI setup ...

(The driver doesn't know whether the card
is defective, or whether no attempt has 
been made to assign an IRQ.)
