Stupid 3c509s. I just got one working after lots of headaches.
In the end, I enabled Plug-n-Pray in the 3com EEPROM setup (but
not in the computer's BIOS), then nailed all the other cards to
fixed IRQs in the BIOS PCI/PnP settings, leaving 9, 10, 12 and
15 free. The 3c509 came up on IRQ 10 and that was the end of
hours of struggle. Kernel 2.4.2.
