Really? That's a step back from last fall, when I got two 3c509s to work
in a machine at my previous employer.
The biggest problem that we had was plug and play. The old cards didn't
have it, and worked fine. The new cards did have it, and it drove us nuts
until we found out about it and disabled it using 3c5x9cfg in DOS. After
that it worked very well.
As Remco pointed out,

Read the Multiple Ethernetcards FAQ:
append="ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"
Remco.

This is basically what we did, but we actually provided the IRQ and IO
numbers.
