Sorry for using this address, there does not appear to be a special maintainer
for the 3c509 network driver.
1.
3c509 driver broken in 2.4.0-test10, not in -test9
2.
The 3c509 network driver worked fine for decades almost ;-) that is 2.0.x,
2.2.x, and 2.4.0-test up to 9. In 2.4.0-test10 it opes upon modprobing.
lsmod says "initializing" in the 3c509 entry, forever.

3c509, 3C509, Ethernet, networking, 2.4.0-test10

Linux version 2.4.0-test10
compiled by root@arisia (#3 Fri Nov 17 22:37:22 CET 2000)
using gcc version 2.95.2 2220 (Debian GNU/Linux)
