I, too, am using a Dell laptop, but with a genuine 3c589. It's working
fine. After a recent patch, it doesn't even have to be listed in plan9.ini.
And, I think the 3c589 is included in the distribued kernels, but don't
quote me on that. It sounds as if the ID string the card returns doesn't
match what the driver is looking for. In particular the driver is looking
for the strings: 3C589, 3C562, and 589E. If it doesn't find one of those,
then it won't see it as a 589
