It appears from your results that cs89x0 may not be 
the correct module for your card.  Sindi provided 
that information, but I have been unable to confirm 
it.

The EtherStreamer is a very old ethernet device.
You may be able to identify the module it needs
by booting an old net.i kernel from Slackware.
It will automatically try to install any network 
card it finds.  Here's a net.i that's about the 
right age:

http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-3.3/kernels/net.i/bzImage

You can put the kernel on a DOS boot floppy with 
loadlin.exe.  Or if you already have a DOS partition 
on the HD, you can boot it from there (using loadlin).  
When the kernel boot stops, carefully read what's on
the screen.  Hopefully there will be an eth0 line
that says which driver it installed for the network
card.

Cheers,
Steven
