PCMCIA Network card issue

I currently am trying to get Gentoo working on a Dell Inspiron 3700 
laptop with a 3com 3ccfe575ct PCMCIA network card.  However, the nework 
card fails to start when I start the computer.  When I had redhat 
installed on this laptop, it was using kernel driver 3c575_cb for the 
PCMCIA card.  

Here is the exact error message during start-up:

"failed to bring eth0 up"

This happens when it is trying to start dhcpcd.  It does however, load 
PCMCIA support during the start-up.

When I configured the kernel during the install it only had options for 
3c574 and 3c589.  Would those work with my PCMCIA card?

I tried to recompile the kernel with support for those two drivers, but 
I'm not sure if I'm recompiling the kernel correctly.

Here are the steps I go through:

cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
<check to make sure 3c374 and 3c389 are marked to be included>
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig 
<here it gives me the error message that bzImage doesn't exist.  Shouldn't it exist though, since I have already compiled a kernel before (when I was installing gentoo)?>
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

When I reboot, it doesn't seem to load the new kernel. (I could be wrong).

I have some experience with linux and unix systems, but this is the 
first time I've really taken a look under the hood, so to speak, so any 
help or direction towards places on the web that might help me would be 
greatly appreciated.  If any additional information is needed feel free 
to ask.

thanks.
