Interesting that you mention the 3c5x9cfg utility! I was using this the other night and found some strange behavior which may or may not be of use to you.
If you change the transceiver type (? -this is from memory) or at least enter the option for TP vs AUI, when you exit there will be another option at the bottom of the list. It showed as being a toggle for full or half duplex. As these cards have always been half duplex, I was overjoyed(!) at this development and tried this option. But, when I changed this toggle the option switched from 'duplex' to 'plug and play'!! I have no idea whether it actually does anything useful, but there you go. Has anyone seen a method (or know if the card supports it) to allow full duplex operation on the 509's?
