have you tried a insmod 3c509 ??
does not look like the mod for the nic is loaded (hence the no eth0 in
ifconfig)
after you try the insmod (and get no errors ) try a modprobe 3c509
and then a ifconfig if you then see a eth0 ... BINGO
you can go into linuxconf and edit eth0 to use the 3c509 modual and dhcp
protocol.
after you save and exit linuxconf try ifconfig again you should see eth0,
if no do a ifup eth0
