> Hmmm .... (read entire message before responding!)
Wilco. I was waiting for your reply, because this morning I left the
dongle for my NE2000 at home, so I was forced to use my backup '589.
It sucked; I had to build a new kernel, then some new userland utils
(because the userland on my laptop is horribly old and my sources are
up to date so I can tinker).
But once I had everything in sync, it all "just worked".

It's not so much whether it's legal as whether it works. I don't like
? because the smarts behind the auto-IRQ allocation aren't good. We
don't do enough PnP by far for it to be reliable.
eg. I use:
# 3com 3c589D
card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D"
config 0x1 "ep0" 9
insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 -link0
remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete
and that "just works" (both on the card I had partially stolen giving
me BNC, and on this card giving me UTP).
