This does indeed sound like it should work.

You need to determine why the adapter isn't being seen. The
messages that print out when the system boots are the key to this. You
should look for "pcic0 at isa0" and "pcmcia0 at pcic0" and "pcmcia1 at
pcic0" (all three lines will have more stuff after them, but those are
the key bits). If those aren't there, they indicate that the system
couldn't find the PCMCIA adapter.
If those are there, there should be a line like "ep1 at
pcmcia0" (may vary slightly depending on which slot the card is
in). If the first lines were there but that wasn't, then for some
reason the system isn't seeing the card plugged in to the adapter; one
thing to try in that case would be putting the 3c589 in the other
PCMCIA slot.
Let me know what didn't show up...
