If you're plugging the cable from the 3c589 directly into your Mac, that
won't work - it will connect the transmit pins and receive pins together,
instead of to each other. You need to use an ethernet hub or switch to cable
them together or a crossover adapter - looks like an ethernet cable joiner
but inside it swaps the pairs around.
