You're doing nothing wrong.

The kernel didn't recognise the IDs for that card. Can you pull the
card and take a look at it? Does it have a part labelled 83932 or
8390 or 83902? Does it have a 68000 on it?
If it's got the 8390 or 83902 on it, you're in luck. I think that all
of the LC cards use the 83932 (SONIC), in which case, you'll have to
wait for a SONIC driver (or work on one ;-). This shouldn't be too far
away--there's a working if_sn.c for the OpenBSD/arc port, and I've got
it partly hacked for the Mac.
