What is the PCI ID of the device?

I'm guessing that you'll need the updated driver to work with this device.
    ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/3c59x.c
or even, if you have an especially new system,
    ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/test/3c59x.c


Follow the directions at

to install the updated driver.
