 Although probably meant well advising Russell to use a module that was not 
written for this card is not a good thing to do. Please stick with the 3c509 
driver!
 Although I can't remember if this card was automatically detected on my 
systems (I guess it is, at least on  RH 6.2) I have never had any problems 
with these cards. Just add the entries
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 irq=<irq>
to modules.conf.
 Set the proper irq. You could change the IRQ used by the card using the DOS 
utilities for it. Note that when the card was configured for use on an EISA 
bus you will not be able to reconfigure the IRQ on an ISA bus, but you can use 
the card with it's current IRQ.

					Bye,

					Leonard.
