I don't believe the 590 is supported. (this is the PCI variant of the Etherlink III series) The 509 and I think 579 are supported through the ep driver, and I think the 589 is supported through some other driver, though. Your best bet for a PCI ethernet card is probably to buy an SMC card. They are supported. If anyone knows anything different about 3c590 support, please feel free to correct me...
