Hello! I've also got a 3c509b and it works fine. I switched on PnP mode in the DOS-based "3com utilites" setup program and then you don't really have to do anything complicated any more, because the bios automatically assigns irq/dma. Perhaps, there's just another pnp card using the interrupt of the 3com and this could be changed by switching the 3com to pnp. And: You've got to compile and install the kernel module for 3c509, it normally is able to autodetect irq, i/o etc.. For the irq etc... configuration, you could use isapnp, but it doesn't seem to be necessary for this card. I never used linux 3c...setup in my life.
