OK, have you set the IRQ you set on the card, as legacy ISA in your BIOS, as
opposed to a PNP device? If you have auto config turned on, shut it off and set
this manually. Plug and Pray is not a joke reference to PnP.
I used a 3c509 for the longest time in my router. IRQ 10, IO 300.
All I did was set this and turn pnp off with the msdos config util (something like
3c509cfg.exe on the util disk)
