I'm pretty sure this needs porting for Linux/m68k. Start with an existing m68k 
PCMCIA ethernet driver, and compare that with its mainstram equivalent. Then 
apply similar changes to the 3c589 mainstream driver. 

IIRC the only supported PCMCIA card is a NE2000. Look at drivers/net/apne.c and 
compare with drivers/net/ne.c ... actually, do this comparison on a fairly old 
version of the kernel source, the two drivers have diverged sufficiently to make 
a simple diff hard to stomach. 

Of course, you can try to get drivers/net/pcmcia/3c589_cs.c to compile for m68k 
and work through the compile errors if you are so inclined. 

Good luck,
