Is the 3COM 3C509B PCI (PCI PCI PCI __not__ ISA) supported?

[Chris Majewski <majewski@cs.ubc.ca>]

I bought a 3c509b PCI thinking this would be the easiest and most
reliable thing to get working.. bullshit. 
/proc/pci says:

  Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: 3Com 3C905B 100bTX (rev 48).
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 5.  Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=10.Max Lat=10.
      I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe9000000 [0xe9000000].

but compiling the 3c509 driver into the kernel (2.2.17) does nothing,
and compiling it as a module yields 
init_module: device or resource busy 
for every possible irq setting, which is incidentally the same error
message I get if I try, just for fun, to insert a driver module for a 
nonexistent device. In English: I can't get the 3c509 driver to recognize
my 3c509b PCI. 
Is there another driver, or should I get a different card? 
(Please don't send me mail telling me how well
your isapnp 3c509 works; mine does too.)
thanks for any suggestions, chris
