Just to mention it, there might be another factor with a 3C509 card -- there is a software program to set up the card, to do things like select the IRQ, I/O address, and to choose (on some variations of the card, at least) which interface to use (RJ-45, Coax, or AUI). Maybe this software setup needs to be done to avoid some of the problems? (I guess the 3C509B series attempts to do this setup automatically, at least under Windows, but the non B series needs to be done "manually" with the setup software (that runs only under Dos/Windows, AFAIK).
