I was able to hack fw to be able to use the ISA cards, here is what I
changed:

In /usr/sbin/ethconfig line 84 I modified it so it would read:
-----BEGIN------
        # get card name
        if "bus-info" in ethinfo.keys():
            if len(ethinfo["bus-info"]):
                 businfo = ethinfo["bus-info"].split(":", 1)[1]
                 name = filter(lambda l: l.find(businfo) > -1, lspci)
                 if len(name):
                     name = name[0].split(businfo)[1].split(":",
1)[1].strip()
                 else:
                     name = "Unknown Network Interface Card"
            else:
                businfo = 'n/a'
                name = 'n/a'

        else:
            businfo = 'n/a'
            name = 'n/a'
-----END------



In /etc/rc.d/rc.netdrivers I modified this:
-----BEGIN------
. /etc/rc.d/efw_lib.sh

modprobe 3c509

/etc/rc.d/efw-network-rc6_rc7.sh
-----END------


Hope it helps for someone in the same problem as I had.

Debuging a little ethconfig I found that it's trying to get businfo from
lspci, and since 509 are isa cards, they don't show information about bus
info.

To bring it up I will just try and make fixes to startup scripts, since with
modprobe I can make them work

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated before I start messing up
the install. And the problem comes on replicating the setup on the rest of
the firewalls. I can change this one since I have it in the office next to
me but doing this on remote firewalls will be quite a problem.

509's are ISA cards, 905's are PCI. I'm guessing the current kernel doesn't
have ISA support enabled.
