Thanks for all the help.  It turned out that I forgot to power cycle
the machine after changing the bios settings from plug and play to enabled.
When I did that, the 3c589D just worked using IRQ 7.  (The sound card is
configured before the pcmcia stuff, which works in my case.
If I need the infrared port, I'll have to add this option.

} Do you have a pcic controller? I needed the following in my kernel config
} to get my 3com PCMCIA ether to work:
} 
} options         PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE="0x300"
} options         PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE="0xff"
} 
} # Mask out IRQ 10 and IRQ 3 (infrared) and 5 (soundblaster)
} options         PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK="0xfbd7"
} 
} The second option is the essential one, I think. It is 0x00 by default,
