Hi,

Since no one has answered this one yet, I'll take a crack at it.  The
FreeBSD docs for 2.2.2 indicate the that 3c589D is not supported.
Appartently, 3Com made some significant changes in the D-version of the
card.

The PAO patches should work with this card and 2.2.2 however.  At least it
is listed as being supported.

   http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/PAO/

Another alternative is to upgrade to 3.0 which includes support for your
card.  I also have a 3c589D on my Thinkpad and so I just went for 3.0. The
boot floppy recognized my card and it installed without any problems.
Works great for me.

Finally, if you are using FreeBSD on a laptop, you might want to subscribe
to freebsd-mobile instead of/in addition to freebsd-questions.  There is a
lot less traffic, and the discussion are usually relevant for most laptop
users.
