Help!

I have an NEC 6030x running FreeBSD 2.1.6 and PAO-960831.tar.gz.

i'm trying to get a 3com 3c589 ethernet card to work.
when i insert the card, i get:

  ep0: failed to come ready.

my pccard.conf has:
  io 0x300-0x360
  irq 10 11 15
  memory 0xd4000 96k

  card "3Com Corporation" "3C589"
    config default "ep0" 11
    ...

my kernel config has:
  device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 11 vector epintr

syslog reports:
  /kernel: Card inserted, slot 0
  Card "3Com Corporation" ("3C589") matched ...
  Found existing driver (ep0) for 3Com Corporation
  Using I/O addr 0x300, size 16
  Setting config reg at offs 0x10000 to 0x41
  Reset time = 100 ms
  Assigning I/O window 0, start 0x3000, size 0x10 flags 0x7
  Assign ep0, io 0x300, mem 0x0, 0 bytes, irq 11, flags 0
  ep0 failed to come ready.
  Return IRQ=11
  stray irq 11
  driver allocation failed for 3Com Corporation

i looked at isa/if_ep.c to see why "failed to come ready" would
come up.  the code sniplet is:

  if (epb->prod_id != 0x9058) {   /* 3C589's product id */
  ...
    printf("ep%d: failed to come ready.\n", is->id_unit);


  i printed out epb->prod_id, and it is 0xc0ff.


so... how do i get this to work?
please reply to email, i'll summarize if there's interest.

thanks!
