After modprobing PCMCIA card, ifconfig only return lo


I have a 3com 589 PCMCIA card. It worked perfectly under Slackware 10.2, but I migrated to Xubuntu as Ubuntu has always been my favorite, but it was too slow on my laptop. I typed "modprobe 3c589_cs" and ifconfig got nothing. The .ko file is under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia. Please help! I really need help, as I need to download make to compile ndiswrapper for support on my belkin card.

Adding the module to the kernel won't automatically bring an interface up, you need to do that manually. After the modprobe try this, I'll assume you have a DHCP server running somewhere on your network otherwise Google to find out how to set a static IP.
Code:
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0

It says returns an error, with interface doesn't exist.
