I think that the message Gilberto is seeing indicates that udev or  
coldplug or something is already trying to load the 3c59x module - I  
don't think that adding its name to /etc/modules.autoload.d/ 
kernel-2.6 will make any difference.

What does `modprobe -v 3c58x` say?

I'm a bit confused by Gilberto's statement: "Of course I had no  
network for this."
If you mean that "I have no networking because of this error" and the  
modprobe line above makes no difference then I might be inclined to  
swap the network card out for another one.
