That error reports that the I/O parameter used is invalid. Your base address for
your card should read 0x210.

Test this by directly using the insmod command:

insmod 3c509 io=0x210 irq=11

If you see something like " Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/3c509.o"

You can also pass a few extra module parameters, check out the link below for
more information. Also read the module source, sometimes it can contain a few
extra settings as well :-D
