I have had boxes with two and three 3c509 cards. In each case the only entry in the 'moudules' script was 3c509 without any qualifiers. That was enough to recognize all cards. The cards were assigned eth0, eth1, eth2 by ascending MAC addresses.
The cards were all set up on different IO and IRQs using a 3com utility under DOS. You might want to check if there are any IRQ or IO address conflicts. Not just between NIC cards but also between other cards and devices in the system. Or, perhaps one of the cards is not working right. On rare occasions I have had problems with old computer motherboards where a card would work in one slot and not work in another slot. Try moving the card to a different slot. If that works, you probably have a defective motherboard and may want to replace it. Old ISA motherboards are cheap. Regards, Frank Kamp "H.G.
