I've had trouble with these cards when set to transducer "autoselect".
So I would configure the card manually to use the transducer required.
If you're not familiar with PnP, I would also set the card to non-PnP,
which can be done with the DOS programs PNPDSABL or 3C5X9CFG. Then you
know what the IRQ and base address ought to be. (I'm afraid I don't
know how to do this in linux.)

I've never used anything other than the 3c509 module.
