Good.

This means the driver didn't find a valid card.

What does 'cat /proc/pci' or 'lspci' report about your card?

Do 'modprobe 3c59x' after installing 3c59x.o and pci-scan.o into
  /lib/modules/*/net/3c59x.o
  /lib/modules/*/misc/pci-scan.o

The 'modprobe' program automatically loads the required modules, in this
case pci-scan.o
