The syntax is correct, but the 3c509 driver doesn't like an IO
parameter, it will not run if one is provided. It's one of the few ISA
cards that can be autoprobed. Just use "NIC=3c509". And make sure the
3c509 is not in PnP mode. You can set its parameters using the 3com
utility 3c5x9cfg on the Etherdisk III. It's at their web site if you
don't have the floppy.
