S10 x86, 3com pcmcia 3c589 can not plumb.

Question

I use 3com pcmcia 3c589c, it's can not plumb by s10_x86 also:
#prtconf -D
pci8086,2448, instance #0 (driver name: pci_pci)
pci8086,2527
pci1509,2420, instance #0 (driver name: rtls)
pci1509,2950, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
pci1509,2980, instance #0 (driver name: hci1394)
#man pcelx
Identifying an Unrecognized Card
If you insert a 3C589 card and it is not recognized (no spe-
cial files created), use the prtconf command and attempt to
identify the problem:
1. Become root.
2. Run the prtconf -D command to see if your 3C589 card is
recognized. A recognized device will appear in the
prtconf output. For example:
# prtconf -D
pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
network, instance #0 (driver name: pcelx)
3. If pcelx does not appear in the prtconf output, there is
a problem with the PC Card adapter configuration or with
the hardware. You can determine whether the problem is
with the card or the adapter by attempting to use the
card on another machine or by using it on the same
machine using DOS.
The 3c589c can be using on the same laptop using win2000/redhat.
Any body help me?

Xi Graphics PCMCIA patch
Additional PC Card (PCMCIA) adapter support for Solaris 6, 7 and 8 x86. This package tries to work around a problem in the Solaris bus enumerator boot code. While it detects that a PCMCIA bridge is present, it does not properly initialize the bridge, and therefore it is not available when the system boots. What this package does is to force the bridge into an ISA only mode so that the bridge is usable after boot. Of course this means that CardBus cards cannot be used with this package. This package does not provide support for any of the Solaris Card specific drivers, so if your card is not on the Solaris HCL, it still will not work with this patch.
